2021 Emissions Inventory Virtual Seminar Series
Due to the ongoing impact of COVID-19, the Emissions Inventory and Analysis Group of the EPA will not be holding an in-person 2021 Emissions Inventory Conference. In lieu of the conference, we will be holding bimonthly seminars covering topics related to emission inventories and methods behind their development. These seminars will be held on the 2nd and 4th Wednesday of the month from 2:00-3:30pm Eastern, excluding holiday weeks. If you are interested in giving a presentation during this seminar series, please contact Caroline Farkas (farkas.caroline@epa.gov).
