The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) just finalized its Phase 3 greenhouse gas regulation as a part of the administration’s plan to decarbonize the transportation sector. The Phase 3 regulation will cut new greenhouse gas emissions from trucks in 2032 by 32 to 62 percent for vocational trucks (e.g.,

cities move toward their greenhouse gas reduction goals via a cleaner national electric grid, increased vehicle and building electrification, and new distributed renewable energy resources. More details regarding funding applications will need to be made available by the EPA, and funding is set to remain available until September 30, 2027.

This is roughly the equivalent of taking 66 million fossil-fueled cars off the road for an entire year. Beginning in 2027, the ACF would require all new medium- and heavy-duty vehicles purchased by public agencies to be emissions-free, including large work trucks and vans, street sweepers, vacuum trucks, and other similar vehicles.

While industry tried to paint hydrogen combustion engines as a “bridge” technology to hydrogen fuel cells, their own presentations undermined that very point—instead, this path is a clear dead end. We need to make sure regulators like EPA and CARB restrict its usage before it gains a fossil-fueled foothold in the marketplace.

The UN’s Climate Change Conference is just about to kick off in Dubai, juxtaposing the powerful political power of the fossil fuel industry and the desperate need to reduce oil and gas usage as we face an ongoing climate crisis. However, the agency considered a range of alternatives.

Here, we still want to cut global warming emissions by replacing polluting cars with clean vehicles and ramping up renewable energy to phase out fossil fuel powerplants. We could take advantage of Wyoming wind and Nevada solar so California could more quickly shut down fossil-fuel powerplants.
