California ARB releases proposed strategy to reduce impact of short-lived climate pollutants

Green Car Congress

Together, SLCPs represent about 12% of California’s total annual greenhouse gas emissions inventory. This would cut greenhouse gas emissions by 94 million metric tons of carbon dioxide equivalent (MMTCO 2 e) annually under the approach that measures the impact of these super pollutants over a 20-year span.
