  1. STATEWIDE WORKSHOP ON THE CALIFORNIA MOTOR VEHICLE EMISSIONS STANDARDS INCLUDING GREENHOUSE GASES August 23, 2007 Department of Environmental Protection Division of Air Resource Management

  2. ExecutiveOrder07-127 Establishes Immediate Actions to Reduce Greenhouse Gas Emissions within Florida DEP to develop rules to achieve..... Adoption of the California motor vehicle emission standards in Title 13 of the California Code of Regulations, effective January 1, 2005, upon approval by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency of the pending waiver, which includes emission standards for greenhouse gases, submitted by the California Air Resources Board.

  3. EPAWaiverIssues States follow the federal emission standards or adopt the California standards Status of the California waiver request Waiver requested in December 2005 Discussion with EPA are on-going Waiver decision still pending Potential for legal remedy California want decision by October 2007 Key court decision: Massachusetts vs. EPA: CO2 considered a pollutant that could be regulated by EPA

  4. WhatDoesAdoptingtheCaliforniaStandardsMean? Adoption of California Emission Standards Low Emission Vehicle (LEV) program Greenhouse Gas (GHG) reductions States opting into the California program are adopting the identical California standards Can’t deviate in substantive aspects Prevents the hypothetical “3rd” vehicle

  5. VehicleEmissionStandards Comparison of California Standards (commonly referred to as LEV II) to the federal standards (commonly referred to as Tier 2) California standards are more stringent California LEV II results in lower overall emissions compared to the federal standard. California LEV II evaporative emission standards are more stringent than the federal standards California LEV II includes an optional Zero Emission Vehicle (ZEV) program which promotes advanced vehicles (e.g., fuel cell vehicles, battery, electric)

  6. VehicleEmissionStandards(continued) California LEV II establishes fleet average based on Non-Methane Organic Gases (NMOG) standard. Federal Tier 2 standard establishes fleet average based on oxides of nitrogen (NOx)

  7. KeyFeaturesoftheCaliforniaLEVIIRequirements Phase In-Schedule Pollutants Regulated Criteria Pollutants Precursors of ground level ozone NMOG (similar to VOC) NOx Carbon Monoxide (CO) Particulate Matter (PM) Hazardous Air Pollutants (HAPs)

  8. KeyFeaturesoftheCaliforniaLEVIIRequirements(continued) • Requirements • Statewide fleet average emission standard • Standards applicable to different vehicle classifications • California fleet average emission standards focus on NMOG • Types of Vehicles Regulated • Passenger cars • Light duty trucks • Medium duty vehicles up to 14,000 pounds • Technical classification • LEV – Low Emission Vehicle • ULEV – Ultra Low Emission Vehicle • SULEV – Super Ultra Low Emission Vehicle

  9. KeyFeaturesoftheCaliforniaLEVIIRequirements(continued) Optional ZEV - categories that capture zero emission vehicles such as fuel cells, battery electric. Amended to include PZEV Partial Zero Emission Vehicle ATPZEV Advanced Technology Partial Zero Emission Vehicles (hybrid)

  10. KeyFeatureoftheGHGRequirements Pavley Law CARB adopted in 2004 First law in the nation to address GHG, especially CO2 Date standards take effect Phase-in from 2009 through 2016 Pollutants CO2 Methane (CH4) Nitrous Oxide (N20) Requirements Tailpipe emission CO2, CH4, N2O resulting directly from vehicle operation CO2 emissions from operating air conditioner systems Hydrofluorocarbons (HFC) from air conditioner systems leakage Upstream emission associated with fuel production

  11. CaliforniaEmissionReductions New vehicles in 2012 will have 22% lower GHG emissions compared to 2000 When standard fully implemented, new vehicles will have 30% lower GHG emissions California GHG Emissions passenger vehicles climate change emissions will be reduced by 87,000 CO2 equivalent tons per day in 2020. And by 2030, climate change emissions will be reduced by 155,000 tons per day Secondary benefit Reduce other pollutants in new vehicles 12%-21% lower VOC emissions than the federal standard

  12. Conclusions California Rule Requirements LEV II GHG Choices ZEV Opt in/out partial Implementation Waiver Status

  13. Comments Implementation Compliance verification Phase-in schedule Costs ZEV choice Data collection projections
