The California Air Resources Board (CARB) announced that greenhouse gas emissions in California in 2016 fell below 1990 levels for the first time since emissions peaked in 2004—a reduction roughly equivalent to taking 12 million cars off the road or saving 6 billion gallons of gasoline a year.

This marks Canada’s first regulation of air pollutant emissions from locomotives. Canada and the US are also working together on approaches to reduce greenhouse gas emissions from locomotives under the Canada-US Regulatory Cooperation Council. Current Tier 4 regulations apply to locomotives manufactured in 2015 or later.

Ozone pollution near Earth’s surface is one of the main ingredients of summertime smog. Determining effective strategies for mitigating surface ozone (O 3 ) pollution requires knowledge of the relative ambient concentrations of its precursors, NO x , and VOCs.

Livestock were the single largest source of methane gas emissions in the United States in 2004, releasing 70% more into the atmosphere than the oil and gas industry as estimated by other inventories, according to a new study by a team from Harvard University, JPL/CalTech and UC Irvine. The EPA estimates that 8.8 megatonnes (9.7

Accelerating the introduction of cleaner new Tier 4 interstate line-haul locomotives to operate in California and other western states (2015-2025). BNSF has been operating four liquefied natural gas yard locomotives in downtown Los Angeles since the mid-1990s. NO x helps create ground-level ozone, or smog.

The California Air Resources Board released the draft proposed first update to the AB 32 Scoping Plan, which guides development and implementation of California’s greenhouse gas emission reduction programs. Heavy-duty vehicle NO x reductions are an essential part of reducing criteria pollutants by 90% by 2032 in extreme nonattainment areas.
