Subject: methane emission reduction
Comment:
In addition to accelerating efforts to reduce methane emissions from the oil, gas and electricity sectors, CAARB should act on the finding by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change that methane from anthropogenic sources will exceed anthropogenic carbon dioxide emissions over the next decade. In view of this fact and its implications, CAARB should include in the Short-Lived Climate Pollutant Reduction Strategy dairy manure and enteric fermentation methane emissions reduction targets of 25% by 2020, 50% by 2025, and 75% by 2030. The 2013 IPCC 20-year interval Global Warming Potential (GWP) constant for methane should be used for all annual, short, and mid-term interval methane-to-CO2 equivalency conversion calculations. CAARB should incorporate the IPCC 20-year interval methane GWP constant in calculations, analyses and emission values for all its programs, including cap and trade, compliance offsets, greenhouse gas inventories, current and proposed compliance offset protocols for cap & trade, and pollution permits.
