The Advanced Clean Trucks standard modeled in the report would require manufacturers, beginning in 2027, to increase their zero-emission truck sales to between 30-50 percent by 2030 and 40-75 percent by 2035. The report was prepared by ERM and commissioned by NRDC and the Union of Concerned Scientists. These gains include $1.3

The Advanced Clean Fleets (ACF) rule has the potential to significantly reduce climate-warming greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions as well as harmful air pollutants like fine particulates (PM2.5) This new regulation would apply to delivery vans, big rigs, box trucks, and buses.

Importantly, however, CO 2 is not the only greenhouse gas directly produced: N 2 O is a greenhouse gas 265 times more potent than CO 2 , directly produced as a combustion byproduct. It’s obviously far better to simply avoid all those losses and use the electricity to power battery-electric trucks.

Goods imported into the UK from countries with a lower or no carbon price will face a levy by 2027. The UK ETS puts a price on greenhouse gases emitted by domestic producers, through a “cap-and-trade” system, in which total carbon emissions and allowances under the scheme are capped.

Now that California has taken the lead and set a goal for all passenger vehicles sold in the state to be electric by 2035, the next logical step is electrifying medium- and heavy-duty vehicles. This is an integral step towards cleaning our air and reducing climate-warming emissions. There are more than 1.8 pollution from vehicles.

The changes are designed to support a renewable energy grid, make buildings more energy efficient, support the use of electric vehicles, and reduce waste and stormwater runoff. This will provide greater flexibility for electric equipment such as heat pumps. The proposal will now advance to the City Council for final approval.

I recently wrote a (very wonky) paper about how giving credits to technology deployment in advance of the beginning of the rule in 2027 could pose a serious problem to the long-term effectiveness on the rule at driving the cleanest technology to market, but it’s worth summarizing here. EPA has proposed three different early credit programs.
