This document provides an overview and status update on the heavy duty technology and fuels available. To view or submit comments on the Draft Overview please go to: http://www.arb.ca.gov/msprog/tech/techreport/comments.htm Contact: Renee Littaua (916) 324-6429 or rlittaua@arb.ca.gov Background Overview California needs a 90 percent reduction in NOx emissions by 2031, and an 80 percent reduction in GHG emissions below 1990 levels by 2050 to meet air quality and climate targets. Significant improvements in efficiency and the use of renewable fuels are also needed to meet the Governor’s 50 percent petroleum reduction target by 2030, and continued reductions in diesel PM and air toxics are necessary to protect public health. Achieving each of these goals will require a transition to zero and near-zero emission technologies in all mobile sources. The Draft Overview highlights technology and fuels that could help us achieve those goals, and covers several heavy-duty technology sectors, including: • trucks and buses • transport refrigeration units • locomotives • fuels – both conventional and alternative fuels • ocean-going vessels • commercial harbor craft (SCAQMD lead) • cargo handling equipment, and • aviation – including aircraft and ground support equipment This technology assessment is on-going and focuses not only on zero and near-zero emission technologies that will ultimately be necessary to meet long-term air quality and climate goals, but also on improvements to conventional technologies and gains in vehicle and freight system operational efficiency that could provide substantial near-term emissions reductions and help facilitate the transition to zero and near-zero emission technologies. The Draft Overview is now posted. More detailed draft assessments for each of the sectors listed above will be posted in 2015, as the drafts are completed. The draft sector reports will evaluate how each technology works, the fuels necessary to power each technology, as well as its state of market readiness, costs, environmental benefits, technology performance, and current deployment challenges. Additional background information on the Heavy Duty Technology and Fuels Assessment effort can be found here: http://www.arb.ca.gov/msprog/tech/tech.htm Related Work The technology and fuels assessment draft overview and draft sector reports will help inform a number of on-going state efforts, including ARB’s Sustainable Freight Strategy.

Short-lived climate pollutants (SLCPs) include methane, tropospheric ozone, black carbon, and fluorinated gases. They are powerful climate forcers that remain in the atmosphere for a much shorter period of time than longer-lived climate pollutants, including carbon dioxide. Their relative potency, when measured in terms of how they heat the atmosphere, can be tens to thousands of times greater than that of carbon dioxide (CO2). Senate Bill 605 (Lara, Chapter 523, Statutes of 2014) requires ARB, in coordination with other state agencies and local air districts, to develop a SLCP Strategy by the end of 2015, to further reduce SLCP emissions in California. The Concept Paper presents initial ideas that will be considered and evaluated in the coming months by ARB staff, in coordination with other agencies, as it develops a SLCP Strategy pursuant to SB 605. The concepts included in this discussion draft do not represent commitments at this time, nor do they comprise an exhaustive list of elements or considerations that may be included in the Strategy or shape its development. The intent of the paper is to elicit new ideas and refine strategies to reduce emissions of SLCPs throughout the state. The Concept Paper will be discussed at a May 27, 2015, public workshop. The comments received on the Concept Paper will inform the development of a draft Strategy that ARB expects to release for public comment later this summer. ARB welcomes broad participation among stakeholders, experts and interested parties throughout this process. The Concept Paper and workshop notice can be found at ARB's Short-Lived Climate Pollutant website at: http://www.arb.ca.gov/cc/shortlived/shortlived.htm The website also contains a link for submitting written comments. An agenda and presentation will be posted before the workshop. California is in a drought emergency.

This draft technology assessment examines technologies projected for development over the next five to ten years that can be applied to transport refrigeration systems and insulated cargo vans to reduce fuel consumption, greenhouse gases (GHG) and criteria pollutant emissions (e.g. nitrogen oxides and particulate matter). Such technologies support ARB's long term objective of transforming the on- and off-road mobile source fleet into one utilizing zero and near-zero emission technologies to meet air quality and climate change goals. Sources of information used in the draft assessment include an extensive list of published reports, research papers, and documented conversations with technology experts. The draft assessment discusses each technology by providing a basic description, the current state of development or commercial readiness, economics, potential emission reductions, advantages, and key performance parameter issues and deployment challenges. The draft technology assessment can be viewed and downloaded from the ARB's technology and fuels assessment webpage at: http://www.arb.ca.gov/msprog/tech/techreport/tru_07292015.pdf We encourage interested parties to submit comments on the draft technology assessment through the technology and fuels assessment web page for public comments at: http://www.arb.ca.gov/msprog/tech/techreport/comments.htm. We request to receive comments within 30 days of the posting of this draft assessment, if possible. If you have questions regarding the draft technology assessment, please contact Mr. Rodney Hill, Staff Air Pollution Specialist, at 916-327-5636, or email to Rodney.Hill@arb.ca.gov.

In particular, we propose to modify the container deposit and return requirement on purchases of the small containers of HFC-134a used in Do-lt-Yourself (DIY) motor vehicle air conditioning (MVAC) servicing, the refrigerant recycling requirement, and their associated reporting requirements. On January 1, 2010, the requirements for retailer stores to collect this core deposit went into effect and became enforceable under Title 17, California Code of Regulations section 95366(a). The purpose of the container deposit/return and the refrigerant recycling programs was to recycle the refrigerant remaining in the used containers and thereby reduce the emissions from used containers being discarded in the trash or otherwise leaking into the atmosphere. While the regulation has resulted in greater emission reductions than the original estimates, the refrigerant recovery and the container return rate by consumers has been substantially lower than expected. Because of these issues, ARB is proposing to amend the regulation. The purpose of this workshop is to provide an overview of ARB activities to date and to discuss and solicit public input on the regulatory proposal. Details of this workshop are as follows: DATE: August 25, 2015 TIME: 1:30 p.m. – 3:30 p.m. PLACE: Training Room 2, Cal/EPA Headquarters (1001 I Street Sacramento, California 95814) Workshop materials will be available on the HFC Emission Reduction Measures website (http://www.arb.ca.gov/cc/hfc-mac/hfcdiy/meetings/meetings.htm) one week prior to the workshop and will be available in hard copy at the meeting. Additional information can also be found at the regulation’s webpage: http://www.arb.ca.gov/cc/hfc-mac/hfcdiy/hfcdiy.htm If you wish to participate by phone, please contact Mr. Winston Potts at (916) 323-2537 or via email at winston.potts@arb.ca.gov to ensure that adequate phone lines are available. ARB will use the DIY MVAC Program list serve to notify stakeholders of upcoming events related to proposed modification to the DIY MVAC regulation.

Short-lived climate pollutants (SLCPs) include methane, black carbon, and fluorinated gases. They are powerful climate forcers that remain in the atmosphere for a much shorter period of time than longer-lived climate pollutants, including carbon dioxide. Their relative potency, when measured in terms of how they heat the atmosphere, can be tens to thousands of times greater than that of carbon dioxide. Senate Bill 605 (Lara, Chapter 523, Statutes of 2014) requires ARB, in coordination with other state agencies and local air districts, to develop a SLCP Strategy by the end of 2015, to reduce SLCP emissions in California. The Draft Strategy describes ongoing and potential new measures to reduce SLCP emissions from major sources in the State, and describes current and future research needs for improving the SLCP emission inventory and better understanding potential mitigation measures. The Draft Strategy will be discussed at public workshops in October. Comments received on the Draft Strategy will inform the development of a Proposed Strategy, which will be will presented to the Board in late 2015. ARB welcomes broad participation of stakeholders, experts, and interested parties throughout this process. The Draft Strategy can be found at ARB's Short-Lived Climate Pollutant website at: http://www.arb.ca.gov/cc/shortlived/shortlived.htm The website also contains a link for submitting written comments on the Draft Strategy.
