ms-mailings -- Arbcombo* University of Illinois Report on Zero or Near-Zero Emission Rail in California
Posted: 22 Jun 2016 16:44:59
The California Air Resources Board (ARB or Board) announces the release of the final report by the University of Illinois (U of I) on the operational and economic considerations to transition to a zero or near-zero emission freight system in California (U of I Report). The objective of this research, funded by the ARB, and completed by the Rail Transportation and Engineering Center (RailTEC) at U of I, was to evaluate the operational changes and economic challenges and opportunities associated with a transition from conventional diesel-electric to zero or near-zero emission interstate line-haul freight rail operations in California. This report supplements ARB’s own analysis in the Draft Freight Locomotive Technology Assessment. The statements and conclusions in this report are those of the contractor and not necessarily those of the California Air Resources Board. The U of I Report can be viewed and downloaded from the ARB Railyard Emission Reduction Program webpage at: http://www.arb.ca.gov/railyard/railyard.htm We encourage interested parties to submit comments on this report through the technology and fuels assessment web page for public comments at: http://www.arb.ca.gov/msprog/tech/techreport/comments.htm Comments may be submitted through July 22, 2016. In addition, we are extending the comment period for ARB’s Draft Freight Locomotive Technology Assessment through the same date. ARB staff will consider public comments on both the Draft Freight Locomotive Technology Assessment and the U of I Report when developing the Final Freight Locomotive Technology Assessment. If you have questions regarding this report, please contact Ms.Elizabeth Yura, Chief of Emissions Assessment Branch at (916) 322-8277 or at Elizabeth.Yura@arb.ca.gov California is in a drought emergency.
