The update identifies eight key sectors for ongoing action: Energy; Transportation, fuels, land use and infrastructure; Agriculture; Water; Waste management; Natural lands; Short-Lived Climate Pollutants (such as methane and black carbon); and Green Buildings.

Among the findings of the report, “HFC-134a phase-out in the Chinese light-duty motor vehicle sector”, was that, considering the social cost of CO 2 e, up to 1 trillion RMB in costs (US$150 billion) required to address climate change could be avoided through 2050 by transitioning to low-GWP alternative MACs. relative to HFC-134a and 98.6%

while the carbon intensity of its economy declined by 4.5%. Emissions from all other sectors have remained relatively constant in recent years, although emissions from high Global Warming Potential (GWP) gases have continued to increase as they replace Ozone Depleting Substances (ODS) banned under the 1987 Montreal Protocol.

The proposal retains the proven regulatory design of previous EPA standards for light-duty vehicles, but leverages advances in clean car technology to further reduce both climate pollution and smog- and soot-forming emissions. EPA is also proposing to sunset the off-cycle credits program for both light and medium-duty vehicles.

Meanwhile, environmentalists were voicing concern—about how noisy such aircraft are taking off, about the possibility that their high-altitude emissions would erode the ozone layer, and about how disruptive the sonic booms would be. The last of these issues was perhaps the most vexing, prompting the U.S.

A new study quantifying emissions from a fleet of gasoline direct injection (GDI) engines and port fuel injection (PFI) engines finds that the measured decrease in CO 2 emissions from GDIs is much greater than the potential climate forcing associated with higher black carbon emissions from GDI engines. —Saliba et al.

Volkswagen said it would roll out CO 2 MAC systems progressively over its entire vehicle fleet. R134a replaced CFC-12 as the MAC refrigerant in the early 1990s due to the negative impact of CFCs on the Earth’s ozone layer. With its GWP of 1, it is also the refrigerant that has the least impact on climate. Earlier post.).

Funding priorities through the ARFVT Program support fuel and vehicle development to help attain the state’s climate change policies. Workplace, fleet and multi-unit dwelling projects will be given priority. $5 This will reduce county fleet operating costs and facilitate the county’s purchase of new CNG buses and vehicles.

The California Climate Investment funds (generated from the GHG Cap & Trade program) were matched by approximately $16.4 The funds, from the California Climate Investments program, will reduce key criteria pollutants, greenhouse gases (GHG), petroleum usage and toxic pollution where reductions are needed most.

Furthermore, this would also deliver a net annual reduction of at least 200 MtCO 2 e from short-lived climate pollutants in 2030 (using GWP-100 values). Climate benefits in the near-term (estimated using a GWP-20) are more than three times as large given the rapid benefits that the control of black carbon provides.
