Fossil fuel combustion has a known impact on climate and air quality. Numerous studies have found that supply chain activities (e.g., production, processing, storage, transportation, and distribution) may also play a large role in the air quality and life cycle climate impacts of these fossil fuels. As a result, several jurisdictions have announced pledges and regulations at national and sub-national levels with the goal of reducing emissions of criteria air pollutants, toxics, methane, and other greenhouse gases to the atmosphere. However, these emissions and their subsequent impacts on air quality – from basin to global scales – are often poorly understood. We call for submissions that reconcile bottom-up and top-down emissions estimates, employ atmospheric inverse modeling, use remote sensing to understand emissions, quantify air quality effects, and/or assess life cycle climate impacts using novel approaches that address the rapidly evolving nature of the energy sector.
