Date: Wed, 29 Apr 2015 09:48:22 -0700 Subject: arbcombo -- Chairs Lecture: Pathways to Deep Decarbonization in the United States From: tclarksj@arb.ca.gov “Pathways to Deep Decarbonization in the United States”. Jim Williams, Ph.D. Energy and Environmental Economics (E3) Wednesday, May 13, 2015 1:30 pm, PDT (WEBCAST) Sierra Hearing Room, 2nd Floor, Cal/EPA Building 1001 I Street, Sacramento, California Is it possible to deeply reduce carbon emissions in the United States while maintaining a vigorous economy? Dr. Jim Williams will present results from a recent study by Energy and Environmental Economics (E3), Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory, and Pacific Northwest National Laboratory that assesses the technical and economic feasibility of reducing US greenhouse gas emissions 80% below 1990 levels by 2050. It is based on detailed sector by sector, region by region, year by year analysis of the infrastructure changes, technology requirements, and costs of a low carbon transition. The work was sponsored by the Deep Decarbonization Pathways Project, an international collaboration of research teams from the 15 largest GHG emitting nations, who are developing long-term scenarios for decarbonization in their own countries. This project aims to bring momentum to the climate dialogue by providing decision makers a more concrete understanding of what limiting global warming to 2 degrees Celsius would mean for their countries, states, and businesses. In parallel with the US analysis, Dr. Williams and the E3 team used a similar modeling framework to evaluate options for 2030 GHG emission targets for California.

Jim Williams, Ph.D. Energy and Environmental Economics (E3) Wednesday, May 13, 2015 1:30 pm, PDT (WEBCAST) Sierra Hearing Room, 2nd Floor, Cal/EPA Building 1001 I Street, Sacramento, California Dr. Williams’ timely lecture follows the announcement of an aggressive greenhouse gas reduction target for California. On April 29, 2015, Governor Brown signed Executive Order B-30-15 which established a greenhouse gas reduction target of 40% below 1990 levels by 2030. This 2030 target represents reductions needed to ensure California can achieve its larger 2050 target of a reduction of greenhouse gases 80 percent below 1990 levels. Is it possible to deeply reduce carbon emissions in the United States while maintaining a vigorous economy?

The Haagen-Smit Clean Air Award is named for the late Dr. Arie Haagen-Smit – known as the “father of air pollution science and control.” Awards recognize those who continue Haagen-Smit’s work through perseverance, leadership and innovation in the areas of research, environmental policy, science and technology, public education and community service. Wednesday, June 24, 2015 2:30 pm, PST (WEBCAST - link info below) Coastal Hearing Room, 2nd Floor, Cal/EPA Building 1001 I Street, Sacramento, California Each of three award recipients will give an abbreviated, 20-minute, talk: Cooking Health & Climate: The Surprisingly Large Impacts of Humanity’s Oldest Daily Task – Donald Blake, professor of chemistry at the University of California Irvine, has carried out internationally acclaimed measurements of atmospheric volatile organic compounds that have provided critical insights into their roles in air pollution and climate change. Learn about his research showing how elevated air pollution in some cities, such as Mexico City, can be attributed to propane use and cooking emissions rather than traffic pollution. Household Air Pollution & Impacts on Women and Children – Kirk R. Smith, Professor of Global Environmental Health at the University of California Berkeley, holds visiting professorships in India and China, where he works to bring clean air to all people, particularly those who suffer from high exposures to smoke from traditional cookstoves using biomass and coal fuels. His research was critical to the development of the global burden of disease estimate that 4 million people die prematurely from household fuel combustion each year and in helping trigger the first recognition of the importance of air pollution within health ministries. Advances in Diesel Technologies & Worldwide Implementation – John Wall, Vice President and Chief Technical Officer for diesel engine manufacturer Cummins, Inc., has played a leadership role in the development and implementation of all the major technology advancements ultimately leading to the near-zero levels of emissions of particulate matter and oxides of nitrogen from engines. He has consistently taken a proactive environmentally conscious position for the diesel industry throughout his career. Learn about the latest advancements in diesel emissions and what they mean for public health and the world. The public is invited to this free event.
