arbcombo -- SAVE THE DATE Public Workshops on Mobile Source Technology and Fuels Assessments
Posted: 15 Aug 2014 14:24:13
The Air Resources Board (ARB) staff invites you to participate in a series of public workshops to discuss technology and fuels assessments for trucks and buses, transport refrigeration units, rail, fuels, ocean-going vessels, commercial harbor craft, cargo handling equipment, and aviation. The workshops will be held on three days and will each cover different technology and fuels sectors as follows: Sacramento September 2, 2014 about Truck and Bus Sectors September 3, 2014 about Transport Refrigeration Units, Rail, Fuels Diamond Bar September 9, 2014 about Ocean Going Vessels, Commercial Harbor Craft, Cargo Handling Equipment, Aviation A copy of the workshop notice and be found at: http://www.arb.ca.gov/msprog/tech/tech.htm. For those unable to attend in person, a live internet broadcast (webcasting) will be available. Background ARBs 2012 Vision modeling showed that significant reductions in emissions of oxides of nitrogen (NOx) and greenhouse gases (GHGs) are needed to meet 2023 and 2032 air quality standards and 2050 climate goals. To achieve those goals, California must incorporate advanced technology and fuels. These technology assessments are the first step in that process. The technology assessments strive to answer the questions how mature is the technology or fuel, in which applications does it work, and what might be done to further development and deployment? The technology assessments will evaluate the current state and projected development over the next 5 to 10 years of mobile source technologies and fuels. For each technology, the assessment will include: a description of the technology its suitability in different applications the current state of technology development current per-vehicle/equipment costs anticipated costs at widespread deployment emissions levels The results of the technology assessments will help identify the technology and fuels that could be used in the Sustainable Freight Strategy to move California towards a sustainable freight transport system that is characterized by increased efficiency and zero or near zero emissions. Separate workshops focusing on the Sustainable Freight Strategy will be held later in September. The results of the technology assessments will also help inform the development of future State Implementation Plans for ozone. Additional Information Presentations, agendas, as well as any additional material, will be available prior to each workshop at: http://www.arb.ca.gov/msprog/tech/tech.htm. The hard copy materials will also be available at each location on the day of the meeting.
