2015 Report Recommendations

• Set a [midway] 2035 GHG Goal

• Develop interim “benchmarks” by sector

• Address equity effects

• Track and “upload” technology (e.g., energy storage)

• Reduce in all sectors; begin with “Cars and Coal”

• Leverage federal GHG initiatives: CAFE + CPP

• Develop consumption-based goals and actions

Help From the Feds - Cars

• Auto/light truck “CAFE” efficiency standards – Goals: 35.5 mpg by 2016; 54.5 mpg by 2025 – On target? (30.1 mpg – August, 2013)

• Over-The-Road Truck fuel economy standards adopted (next: rail, air?)

Help From the Feds - Coal

• 2014: Clean Air Act S. 111(b) regulates carbon emissions from new power plants

• 2015: S. 111(d) regulates carbon emissions

from existing power plants – Goal: 32% reduction by 2030 (from 2012) – Each state gets its own target – Tools: (1) plant efficiency; (2) shift from coal to

gas; (3) shift to renewables; (4) efficiency

OR Consumption-Based Emissions

• “Consumption-based Emissions” Inventory • GHG’s associated with (1) what we buy, (2) how we

use it, (3) how we dispose of it • Includes GHG’s from imports (flat screen TV’s from

China; shoes from Viet Nam) • Excludes GHG’s from OR exports (Intel chips) 2005 2010 2012 GHG (MMT) 75.4 75.2 77.0
