ARB will hold a one-day workshop to discuss ARB staff’s preliminary thoughts and sources of information upon which to base the proposed standards and test procedures on 18 May, 2010, in El Monte, California. This is the second technical workshop for the LEV III rulemaking. The workshop will be webcast.
Combining the control of criteria pollutants and greenhouse gas emissions into a single coordinated package of standards is a new approach to ARB’s motor vehicle standards. ARB will hold three evening workshops throughout the state to hear input from the public as this rulemaking process advances. The fourth workshop provided.
In the agreement, California and the Ministry commit to activities that will reduce air pollution while enabling sustained economic growth and increase cooperation to enhance pollution control strategies for industrial sectors and the transportation sector.
The California Air Resources Board released a new draft of California’s Short-Lived ClimatePollutant Strategy to significantly reduce the near-term climate impacts of these potent pollutants. Methane is the most abundant of the short-lived climatepollutants in California. Governor Edmund G. Next Steps.
In addition to temperature-induced bleaching, coral reefs in many parts of the world are under stress from overfishing, destructive fishing, coastal pollution, and sedimentation. 360ppm is the level at which reefs “ cease to be viable in the long term ,” according to coral reef specialist Professor John E.N. Jack Rosebro.
That means new jobs, cleaner water and air—and a working model for other states, and the nation, to use as we gear up to fight climatechange and make our economy more competitive and resilient. decision following a public workshop process. —ARB Chairman Mary D. billion to $22.6 allowance revenues. mechanisms.
The cap-and-trade joins a suite of other major climate program measures including standards for ultra-clean cars (Advanced Clean Cars, earlier post ), low-carbon fuels (Low Carbon Fuel Standard, earlier post ) and renewable electricity. —ARB Chairman Mary D. business-as-usual.
The Alternative and Renewable Fuels and Vehicle Technology Program’s Investment Plan allocates $176 million over the next two years to stimulate green transportation projects and encourage innovation to help meet the state’s aggressive climatechange policies. Vehicles are the major contributor to global warming pollution.
The simulator is expected to contribute with efforts to reduce energy consumption and limit emissions of the substances in South and East Asia that cause atmospheric pollution—one factor in global warming—and thereby bring about significant benefits worldwide.
CARB also adopted a new plan to curb destructive “super pollutants” including black carbon, fluorinated gases and methane. The plan, California’s Short-lived ClimatePollutant Reduction Strategy, maps out the route to more rapid greenhouse gas reductions by clamping down on these super pollutants.
Soot emissions are second only to carbon dioxide in promoting global warming, but its effects have been underestimated in previous climate models. Consequently, soot’s effect on climatechange has not been adequately addressed in national and international global warming legislation.
For more than a year now in this blog I’ve been researching and reporting on climatechange, energy and transportation issues and related environmental stories covering them on both a personal and a global perspective. At community events Hampel runs a free hands-on bike tune-up workshop.

for upcoming workshops on the development of the Advanced Clean Transit (ACT) regulation. The 2000 Fleet Rule for Transit Agencies (Transit Fleet Rule) required reductions in both criteria pollutant emissions and exposure to air contaminants from urban buses and transit fleet vehicles.

The facility also includes battery cell production, an operational wastewater treatment plant, a fire brigade equipment house, a high-bay warehouse, as well as laboratories and workshops,” the press release read. . There are 113 air pollution control requirements, which include respective chimney heights for each exhaust air stream.
The discussions focussed on the potential gains to be made in the areas of Fuels and Fuel Economy, Electrification and Traffic Management, each of which were examined through a series of provocative presentations and workshop sessions. He stated: “Whatever the past for the car was, it will not and cannot be the same in the future.
The Scoping Plan describes the comprehensive range of efforts California must take to reduce greenhouse gas emissions to 1990 levels by 2020 and meet the state’s long-term goals to combat climatechange. AB 32 requires the Scoping Plan to be updated every five years. Recommended transportation actions beyond 2020.

Through 2021, the Nevada Division of Environmental Protection (NDEP) will engage with stakeholders and convene public workshops to gather comprehensive input and feedback across all impacted sectors of our economy and throughout every community in Nevada.
Under the proposal ( earlier post ), California transit agencies would be required to purchase 100% zero-emission buses by 2040 as they gradually phase out their dependence on buses that pollute the atmosphere. CARB staff is still collecting comments , and had originally planned an April 2018 workshop to discuss a revised proposal.
In his January 2015 inaugural address, California Governor Jerry Brown identified five key climatechange strategy “pillars,” which recognize that several major areas of the California economy will need to reduce their emissions to meet California’s ambitious climatechange goals. Click to enlarge.
Assembly Bill 32, signed in 2006, set California’s initial goal to reduce greenhouse gas emissions to 1990 levels by 2020 and directed CARB to develop a climatechange scoping plan—to be updated every five years—detailing specific measures needed to reach the target. Short-Lived ClimatePollutant (SLCP) Reduction Strategy.

We were especially excited about the 4-wheelers because they’re used on farms all over the state and the gas vehicles are very noisy and air polluting.” “I He decided to take personal action by joining Al Gore’s Climate Reality Leadership Corps. I’m still trying to keep farmers excited about it.” “In
Carlos Tavares, CEO of Stellantis As Dave Cooke, senior vehicle analyst at the Union of Concerned Scientists , emphasized at a National Academy EV workshop last year that, “This transition isn’t just about emissions. “Who is looking at the full picture of this transformation?” That is perhaps the most important point.”
