Doug Scott, Director Rod R. Blagojevich, Governor Illinois Environmental Protection Agency Governor ’ s Global Warming Initiative Illinois Environmental Protection Agency Ron Burke, Associate Director

 Adopted rules to significantly reduce power plant emissions beyond federal requirements; three units will close, reducing CO million tons/year  2006 law limits diesel idling in air quality non- attainment areas  Introduced Open Road tolling on Illinois Tollway System  Illinois Conservation and Climate Initiative creates forestry and agriculture carbon offsets  Co-founded The Climate Registry

 Incentives and programs have made IL #1 consumer of biodiesel with 2 nd most number of E-85 pumps  Energy Biosciences Institute at UIUC and Cal-Berkely; $500 million grant from BP  IL awarded FutureGen project  2 utility-scale winds farms operational; 15 proposed  Adopted new energy efficiency building codes for state and commercial buildings  New law expands net metering for distributed renewable electric generation  2007 Illinois Power Agency Act creates significant renewable energy and energy efficiency requirements for utilities.

 Illinois 2 nd state to join Chicago Climate Exchange  Committed to power state facilities in Springfield with wind energy  Buying mostly flex fuel and hybrid vehicles  Reduce building energy use at least 10% in 10 years  State buildings to install Energy Star lights  New k-12 schools to achieve LEED Silver certification  Most new buildings funded by CDB constructed to meet LEED standards

5 Illinois Climate Change Advisory Group  Created by Governor’s Executive Order  Advise Governor on how to meet his GHG reduction targets: ◦ 1990 levels by 2020 ◦ 60% below 1990 levels by 2050  Reductions of this magnitude needed to avoid significant consequences  40 members + dozens of observers

6 ICCAG Background  World Resources Institute: technical and facilitation assistance  ICF International: emissions and economic impact modeling  First meeting February 2007  More than 80 policy options considered; final recommendations made in Sept  24 policies recommended; 19 unanimous

7 Illinois GHG Emissions

8 Final Recommendations to the Governor: Transportation  Implement smart growth initiatives and expansion of mass transit  GHG emission standards for automobiles (California standards)  Incentives for fuel efficient vehicles  Low-carbon fuels standard; based on California proposal  Fuel efficiency and/or low carbon fuel requirements for all government vehicles  Passenger and freight rail upgrades

9 Final Recommendations to the Governor: Power/Energy  CO2 emission performance standards for electricity generation or procurement (new generation only)  Small renewable distributed generation: rules, legislation, incentives  Energy efficiency standards for appliances and equipment  Establish residential and commercial energy efficiency construction codes beyond international standards, including government buildings.

10 Final Recommendations to the Governor: Power/Energy  Phase-in of energy efficiency standards for light bulbs  Energy conservation and efficiency programs for existing state facilities  Enhanced renewable portfolio standard of 25% by 2025  Enhanced energy efficiency: 2% demand reduction by No revenue cap.  Carbon capture & storage (from the outset) portfolio standard of 5%. Utilities must buy if available.

11 Final Recommendations to the Governor: cap and trade  Cap-and-trade program for power generators and relatively large industrial sources; preference to link with other states  20% carbon offset requirements for new fossil fuel generation

12 Final Recommendations to the Governor: Commercial, Industrial and Agriculture  Programs to encourage forest management, reforestation, tree- and grass-planting  Expand use of no-till farming  Encourage or require reductions in emissions of high GWP gases (N 2 O, HFCs, PFCs, SF 6 )  Energy efficiency incentives and standards for commercial/industrial generators/boilers

13 Final Recommendations to the Governor: Commercial, Industrial and Agriculture  Encourage methane capture from coal mines, landfills, livestock farms and wastewater treatment plants  Increase traditional recycling diversion rate with municipal goals and by stimulating demand for recycled materials  Land use development offset requirement

 Governors of Illinois, Iowa, Wisconsin, Minnesota, Michigan, and Kansas  Agreed to set regional GHG reduction goals and to develop a "cap & trade" program to achieve these goals  Within the next year, governors will establish regional targets and complete development of a model rule for a cap & trade system

 Increase the number of stations offering 85% ethanol fuel (E85) to 15% of total stations in Midwest) by 2015 increasing to 9,700 stations (25%) by 2025  Generate at least 10% of electricity consumed in the Midwest from renewable energy sources by 2015, increasing to 30% by 2030  Meet at least 2% of Midwestern electricity and natural gas needs through use of energy-saving technologies by 2015  Capture and store carbon dioxide from all new power plants by 2020  Complete plans for a multi-state pipeline to transport carbon dioxide from coal gasification plants for enhanced oil recovery
