shorepower -- Approval Executive Order AB-15-02 – Advanced Cleanup Technologies, Inc.
Posted: 19 Oct 2015 16:33:06
The California Air Resources Board (ARB) has issued an Executive Order (EO) to Advanced Cleanup Technologies Inc. (ACTI) relating to ARB approval of control efficiencies for the Advanced Marine Emissions Control System (AMECS), an alternative control technology that can be used for compliance with the Airborne Toxic Control Measure for Auxiliary Diesel Engines Operated on Ocean-going Vessels At-Berth in a California Port (At-Berth Regulation). The EO, AB-15-02, applies to Advanced Cleanup Technologies’ AMECS and allows the use of AMECS by container vessels for compliance with the At-Berth Regulation. The EO identifies the approved control efficiencies, operating parameters, monitoring requirements, and recordkeeping requirements for AMECS. To view the EO, please go to ARB’s At-Berth Regulation website at the URL below and click on the link for “Executive Orders for Approved Alternative Technologies” on the left side of the page. http://www.arb.ca.gov/ports/shorepower/shorepower.htm If you have any questions regarding this program, please contact Jonathan Foster, Air Resources Engineer, at (916) 327-1512 or shorepower@arb.ca.gov. Background: In December 2007, the Air Resources Board approved the At-Berth Regulation. The purpose of the regulation is to reduce emissions from diesel auxiliary engines on container ships, passenger ships, and refrigerated-cargo ships while berthing at a California Port. The regulation provides two options to reduce at-berth emissions: 1) turn off auxiliary engines and connect the vessel to some other source of power; or 2) use ARB approved alternative control technique(s) that achieve equivalent emission reductions. California is in a drought emergency. Visit www.SaveOurH2O.org for water conservation tips.
