Overview
In GEOS-Chem v10-01 and later versions, emissions are read, regridded, and calculated by the HEMCO emissions component. The emission settings are specified in the HEMCO Configuration file (HEMCO_Config.rc).
For more information about the HEMCO_Config.rc file, please see:

Enabling and disabling emissions
The HEMCO_Config.rc file for each GEOS-Chem simulation contains a set of switches that allow you to quickly toggle individual emissions inventories on or off.
Each time you create a GEOS-Chem run directory from the Unit Tester, a new HEMCO_Config.rc file with default emissions settings will be created in the run directory. These default settings are located near the top of the HEMCO_Config.rc file.
For example, the default emissions settings for the "Standard" full-chemistry simulation are:
# ExtNr ExtName on/off Species
0 Base : on *
--> HEMCO_RESTART : true
--> AEIC : true
--> BIOFUEL : true
--> BOND : true

If you would like to turn off NEI2011, simply change the true in this line:
--> NEI2011 : true
to false:
--> NEI2011 : false
And if you also wanted to turn off the MEGAN biogenic emissions, simply change the on in this line:
108 MEGAN : on ISOP/ACET/PRPE/C2H4/ALD2
to off:
108 MEGAN : off ISOP/ACET/PRPE/C2H4/ALD2
etc.
