This report presents a bottom-up assessment of non-road engine (NRE) populations in Metro Vancouver to support the development of a more accurate and regionally representative air emissions inventory of greenhouse gases (GHG) and health harming contaminants. Non-road engines, used in sectors such as construction, commercial, manufacturing, and yard and garden contribute significantly to local air pollution and climate impacts, yet their emissions are not as accurately quantified compared to on-road vehicles (Hagan, 2022). The study draws on structured interviews, data collection from regional equipment suppliers and dealers, and public and institutional datasets from sources such as Environment and Climate Change Canada (ECCC) to cross-validate and enrich the data.
