By replacing older polluting engines and equipment with new technologies, funded projects remove nitrogen oxide, carbon monoxide, particulate matter, and hydrocarbon pollution from the air. Zero- and low-emission vehicles also lower carbon dioxide emissions, helping to lessen climate change.

Enbridge promises to blend some hydrogen with natural gas, but that’s just a dangerous distraction. Blending a small amount of hydrogen into a gas plant won’t meaningfully reduce emissions. Instead, it will lock in polluting fossil fuel infrastructure for decades. These are not real solutions.

The shift from fossil fuels in the 100-percent RES scenario reduces the amount of toxic power plant air pollution much more than what we called a “no-new-policy,” or business-as-usual, scenario. Emissions of sulfur dioxide and nitrogen oxides from power plants in alliance states drop 88 percent and 77 percent respectively by 2040.

Your program recently published a fact sheet on fertilizer, which most people do not know is manufactured using fossil gas—what the industry euphemistically calls “natural” gas because it sounds like a good thing when it is decidedly not. But nitrous oxide is even more insidiously efficient at disrupting the climate.
