Under Assembly Bill 32 passed in 2006, California must reduce its emissions to 1990 levels (431 million metric tons) by 2020. The state’s latest Greenhouse Gas Emissions Inventory shows that California emitted 429 million metric tons of climate pollutants in 2016—a drop of 12 million metric tons, or three percent, from 2015.

CO 2 emissions by the European new vehicle fleet will be reduced by some 30% during the period from 2006 to 2015—emissions will be below the threshold of 120 grams CO 2 /km for the first time by 2015. Every new model generation will on average be 10 to 15% more efficient than its predecessor. The Chattanooga Solar Park.

Example: a regulated entity may purchase offsets generated through the development of a wind farm in a nation that has not established GHG emissions targets. In addition, the nation, in which the wind farm is located, would likely see an emissions reduction due to the wind farm. 2) Examples of Renewable Energy Projects.

The largest one-year emissions drop California has ever achieved was at the height of the Great Recession in 2009, when climate pollution fell 6.1%. in a year while not experiencing an economic downturn since California passed AB 32 in 2006. While 2020 may see a similar emissions drop, the state has never cut emissions more than 2.6%
