Large ships that operate in ECAs must use dramatically cleaner fuel and technology, leading to major air quality and public health benefits that extend hundreds of miles inland. Also, new ships must use advanced emission control technologies beginning in 2016 which will help reduce NO x emissions. Earlier post.)

The “Kigali Amendment” resulting from the annual Montreal Protocol Meeting of Parties in October 2016 in Kigali, Rwanda targets phasing down the production of HFCs globally. CARB began publicly evaluating controls for SLCPs with the first AB 32 Scoping Plan in 2008. SLCP emission reductions will support achieving these targets.

While current state and federal measures are on target to reduce toxic diesel locomotive emissions 65% or more by 2020, additional measures recommended by ARB staff would ultimately provide up to 85% or greater emissions reductions within the rail yards over the same period, resulting in cleaner air for nearby residential neighborhoods as well.

This level is still below the state’s first climate milestone (2020’s AB 32 goal, met four years early in 2016) of reducing to 431 MMTCO 2 e below 1990 levels. lower than 2008 and 2003, respectively. This is the result of policies promoting cleaner vehicle fuels and advanced clean vehicle standards. lower and 8.3%

Wheeler adduced four reasons to support that argument: price, safety, environmental impact and incentivizing the purchase of new, cleaner, safer cars. Of the roughly 57,000 households that received the EV tax credit in 2016, nearly 80 percent had at least a six-figure income. —Andrew Wheeler. —Andrew Wheeler.
