The Board action includes adopting amendments that have been in development since late 2015, and were first heard by the Board in September 2016. Other amendments adopted by the Board address how carbon allowances are allocated to prevent economic and emissions “leakage” (i.e.,

In 2014, Volkswagen of America announced that starting with the launch of the zero-tailpipe emissions battery-electric 2015 e-Golf ( earlier post ), it would invest in projects to offset the carbon emissions created from the e-Golf on a full lifecycle basis: production, distribution and up to approximately 36,000 miles (57,936 km) of driving.

If a cap-and-trade program includes offsets, regulated entities have the opportunity to purchase the “emission credits” generated by carbon offset projects to help them meet their compliance obligations. In this way, offsets would complement the more traditional emissions trading that can occur between two covered sources.

The design of the California cap-and-trade program allows linkage with programs established by partner jurisdictions in the Western Climate Initiative (WCI) to create a regional market system. The program is expected to reduce GHG emissions between 18 and 27 MMTCO 2 e in 2020. Over time, the cap will steadily decline.

Increases in carbon dioxide concentration along with global surface temperatures are showing a decline in agricultural yields due to climate change. [ 1 ] This along with melting glaciers and shifts in climate zones do not bode well for climate change stabilization without drastic efforts in greenhouse gas abatement.

In ARB’s analysis, most vehicles on the road in 2050 will need to be electric drive, or ultra low-carbon fuel vehicles—i.e., DOE’s targets are $45/kW by 2010 and $30/kW by 2015. This assessment was the basis for his decision to apply the funding in that area elsewhere. Earlier post. ). Earlier post. ). Source: DOE.
