1 What Would it Take? To Reduce Mobile CO2 Emissions Ronald F. Kirby Director of Transportation Planning Presentation to the COG Climate Change Steering Committee April 23, 2008

2 Goals 10% reduction in CO2 below 2012 business as usual levels, getting us to 2005 levels 20% reduction in CO2 below 2005 levels 80% reduction in CO2 below 2005 levels

3 Mobile CO 2 Projections CO 2 Emissions from Cars, Trucks, and Buses All figures are Annual Tons of CO 2 Emissions (in Millions) in the 8-hour Ozone Non-Attainment Area Baseline Emissions (prior to 2007 CAFE) % Change from 2005 levels %38.4% Emissions With 2007 CAFE (35 mpg by 2020) % Change from 2005 levels---7.8%8.1% CCSC Proposed Regional Goal % Change from 2005 levels %-36.7% Emissions with Enhanced CAFE (55 mpg by 2020) % Change from 2005 levels %-16.2%

4 Possible CO 2 Reduction Strategies Fuel Efficiency Beyond CAFE standards [currently 35 mpg by 2020] Fuel Carbon Intensity Alternative fuels Vehicle technology Reducing Vehicle Travel Changes in land use development Changes in travel behavior Changes in prices for travel

5 Evaluating Strategies The Context This is a global challenge. A global or national cap and trade program (e.g. Lieberman-Warner Bill) or a carbon tax is expected to set a price threshold for CO2 abatement, which will help determine cost-effectiveness of strategies

6 McKinsey & Co. Report

7 Cost-Effectiveness The Current Threshold Current studies put the price threshold somewhere between $30 and $50 per ton of CO2 abated. Some Examples Within the Threshold The Commuter Connections is at $17 per ton More fuel-efficient/alternative fuel vehicles Reduce travel with awareness campaigns

8 Possible Priorities If we want to reduce carbon-intensive behavior, we must offer alternatives: Incentives to purchase fuel-efficient/alternative fuel vehicles High quality transit possibly funded through revenues from carbon taxes or cap and trade programs Development policies to support walking and biking [large impacts are possible, but currently too limited]

9 Scale of Emissions Analyses Local CO and PM are analyzed for local “hot-spot” effects Metropolitan Ozone precursors (PM and NOx) are analyzed for metropolitan effects Global CO2 should be analyzed for global effects

10 Other Considerations CO 2 differs from CO, PM and ozone in that its effects are global. Different context means different goals and different strategies Maybe appropriate to purchase carbon offsets for high- value investments Need to maintain economic progress while reducing CO2 emissions
