The Advanced Clean Fleets (ACF) rule has the potential to significantly reduce climate-warming greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions as well as harmful air pollutants like fine particulates (PM2.5) and nitrogen oxides (NOx) from the numerous commercial and government fleets of MHD vehicles in the state.

We’ve made progress The Inflation Reduction Act (IRA) and the Investment and Jobs Act (IIJA) contribute significantly towards the US’s 2030 climate targets (50-52% reduction of global warming emissions below 2005 levels) and exceed these targets by 2035. Since vehicles are the largest sources of PM2.5 This grows to almost $1.3

The overall combination of reductions in particulate matter, nitrogen oxides and other air pollutants are expected to deliver $13 billion in annual health benefits. The largest source of credits is for the use of alternative air-conditioning refrigerants with a lower greenhouse gas potential.

Late in 2021, the Independent Electricity Systems Operator (IESO), Ontario’s electricity grid management agency, released its latest projections: In 2021, Ontario’s electricity sector, aka the grid, generated less than 4 megatonnes (MT) of greenhouse gases (GHGs).

million purchase, coordinated with Waucedah Township, is part of the organization’s larger goal of conserving 30 percent of Michigan’s land, water, and biodiversity by 2030. The grant is funded by a $64 million settlement the state received from Volkswagen after the car company was found to be cheating its emissions tests.

The Advanced Clean Trucks standard modeled in the report would require manufacturers, beginning in 2027, to increase their zero-emission truck sales to between 30-50 percent by 2030 and 40-75 percent by 2035. If adopted in Pennsylvania, benefits would include: -- $1.8 billion cumulatively through 2050.

EPA considering a range of alternatives EPA proposed standards that would aim to reduce greenhouse gas tailpipe emissions by about 70 percent compared to today’s vehicles (or about a 60 percent reduction from the 2026 standards currently on the books), to a lab certification level of emissions of 82 grams per mile (g/mi) by 2032.

Despite the growing share of electric vehicles projected by this rule, 40 percent of vehicles sold in 2030 even under this proposal will still be powered by gasoline. One critical point that was perhaps missed in the initial coverage of the proposal is how much more efficient the remaining gasoline-powered vehicles are expected to be.

Cleaner cars, cleaner air Our Cleaner Cars, Cleaner Air Report showed that while pre-2004 cars make up fewer than 20% of the cars on the road, they are responsible for the majority of tailpipe pollution because they produce higher amounts of lung-damaging particulate pollution and contribute significantly more smog-forming nitrogen oxide emissions.

This latest report looks at mitigation — or what the world can do to stop pumping greenhouse gases into the atmosphere. or 2 degrees without a radical reduction in greenhouse gas emissions and electrifying many of the things that currently run on fossil fuels. Currently, China’s emissions are slated to grow until sometime “before 2030.”
