The California Air Resources Board released its proposed greenhouse gas cap-and-trade regulation. A key part of ARB’s AB 32 Scoping Plan ( earlier post ), the cap-and-trade program provides an overall limit on the emissions from sources responsible for 85% of California’s greenhouse gas emissions.

Almost half the new buses are fueled by cleaner-burning propane or compressed natural gas; the others are cleaner-burning diesel engines. Nitrogen oxides and sulfur dioxides are precursor chemicals that, combined with sunlight, create ground-level ozone. Net-zero carbon emissions by 2050 are the governor’s goal.

The major sources of methane in California are livestock (~30% of the state’s methane emissions), followed by landfills and oil and gas production. Methane is 72 times more efficient at trapping heat in the atmosphere than CO 2 , which is the most prevalent global warming gas. CO 2 remains in the atmosphere for up to a century.

The damages the committee was able to quantify were an estimated $120 billion in the US in 2005, a number that reflects primarily health damages from air pollution associated with electricity generation and motor vehicle transportation. Transportation, which today relies almost exclusively on oil, accounts for nearly 30% of US energy demand.

The downward emission trend of three main pollutants which cause ground-level ozone continued in 2007: carbon monoxide (CO) fell by 57%, non-methane volatile organic compounds (NMVOCs) were down by 47% and nitrogen oxides (NO x ) have dropped 36%. EU-27 emissions of all four pollutants were lower in 2007 than in 2006.

This would be like all laptop makers agreeing on the same plug to fit in all laptops. excluding coal power in china.
