The US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) announced the availability of $26 million in grant funding to establish clean diesel projects aimed at reducing emissions from the US’ existing fleet of diesel engines. Funds awarded under this program cannot be used to fund emission reductions mandated under federal law.

As legislation worked its way through Congress, Jenkins’s team provided elected officials, staffers, and stakeholders with a running tally of the possible trade-offs and payoffs in emissions, jobs, and economic growth. The target of reducing emissions by 50 percent by 2030 was established through an executive order in 2021.

Advanced Clean Cars, also known as Clean Cars Standards, is a set of standards designed to put more zero-emission vehicles on the road and improve air quality. Under the Clean Air Act, California has the special authority to set state clean car standards that go above and beyond federal standards to cut tailpipe pollution.

Working together, the EPA LDV emission and CAFE standards reduce demand for fossil fuels, save drivers money, and provide greater fuel security. New Mexico adopted the Advanced Clean Cars II standard (ACC II). ACC II will increase the number of zero-emission vehicles sold in New Mexico and provide greater consumer choice of EVs.

Catalytic converters have been used in the US since the 1970s as a way to clean up pollutants from vehicle exhaust. In the catalytic process, rare metals such as platinum, are used in a chemical reaction to convert carbon monoxide and other pollutants to non-toxic carbon dioxide, nitrogen, and water. —Yong Wang.
