Since 1994, gas stations in areas that do not meet certain air quality standards have been required to use gasoline vapor recovery systems. Since 2006, all new automobiles and light trucks (pickups, vans and SUVs) are equipped with ORVR systems. The systems capture fumes that escape from gasoline tanks during refueling.

Compared to the 2010 “Business as Usual” scenario—which includes all adopted emission control measures for the South Coast—NO x levels must be reduced by 65% and by 75% to meet the 2023 and 2032 ozone standards, respectively. California’s Climate Protection Strategies do not help meet NAAQS Standards.

Since 2006, all new automobiles and light trucks (pickups, vans, and SUVs) are equipped with ORVR. The CAA requires states to implement Stage II gasoline vapor recovery.

Selin and colleagues compared the health benefits to the economic costs of three climate policies: a clean-energy standard, a transportation policy, and a cap-and-trade program. In 2011, 231 counties in the US exceeded the EPA’s regulatory standards for ozone, the main component of smog.

A team at Ford Motor Company’s Research and Innovation Center in Dearborn conducted a detailed study of the effect of ethanol blend level in emissions, using a 2006 model Mercury Grand Marquis flexible fuel vehicle (FFV) operating on E0, E10, E20, E30, E40, E55, and E80 on a chassis dynamometer.

The cap-and-trade program also works in concert with other measures, such as standards for cleaner vehicles, low-carbon fuels, renewable electricity and energy efficiency, and complements and supports California’s existing efforts to reduce smog-forming and toxic air pollutants.
