Staff will provide an overview of the 2009 Haagen-Smit Symposium entitled “Addressing the Missing Piece of California’s Carbon Footprint: Non-Kyoto Pollutants, International Transport, and the Carbon Embedded in Imports.” The symposium brought together policy-makers and researchers from California, the United States, and the international community to address that fraction of California’s climate-forcing emissions that are not currently addressed by current mitigation programs. | |

Staff will propose amendments to implement changes to the regulation for in-use off-road diesel vehicles (off-road regulation). As part of the February 2009 State budget, Assembly Bill 8 2X, the ARB was directed to make several changes to the off-road regulation that will lessen its requirements for many large fleets in 2010 through 2012. Staff will also propose amendments to mitigate the potential loss in emission benefits resulting from these changes and propose amendments to clarify and correct minor inconsistencies in the regulation’s exemption provisions. The off-road regulation was adopted by the Board on July 26, 2007. | |

The staff presentation will report on the delays in Z-Bus demonstrations, continued higher costs for Z-Buses as well as commercial readiness of fuel cell technology used in Z-Buses. Given the remaining challenges identified in staff’s report, recommendations will also be made regarding possible amendments to the Z-Bus regulation. Staff will lay out suggestions for delay of the Z-Bus purchase requirement, the way the purchase requirement would be implemented and the role that transit buses may play in greenhouse gas emission reduction strategies. Staff will look to the Board for discussion and direction on a future rulemaking to amend the Z-Bus regulation. | |
