6 (PM 10 =1988-98, Air Toxics=1991-96, GSP=1980-96) Change in Air Quality and Growth 1980 to 1998

7 Los Angeles - NOx Emission Trends Emissions Goal Emissions Today

8 Los Angeles - ROG Emission Trends Emissions Today Emissions Goal

9 CARB Mobile Source and Fuels Regulations and Programs New engine emission standards New engine emission standards In-use durability requirements In-use durability requirements Retrofit existing engines Retrofit existing engines Cleaner fuels: gasoline, diesel, natural gas Cleaner fuels: gasoline, diesel, natural gas Promote national and international standards for trucks, ships, and aircraft Promote national and international standards for trucks, ships, and aircraft New technologies for the future New technologies for the future

10 CARB Emission Standards for Cars ROG NOx Exhaust g/mile Over 99% Reduction from Uncontrolled

11 Battery Electric Vehicles

12 California Fuel Cell Partnership

13 CARB NOx Emission Standards for On-Road Trucks 0 2 4 6 8 10 12 g/hp-hr 1990 1991 1998 2004 1985 Possible Future Standards NOx aftertreatment-based 75-90% reduction 2007 goal

14 CARB PM Emission Standards For On-Road Trucks 0 0.1 0.2 0.3 0.4 0.5 0.6 0.7 g/hp-hr 1988 1991 1994 truck bus Possible Future Standards PM trap-based ~90% Reduction 2007 goal

15 Diesel PM and NOx Controls Cleaner diesel fuel Cleaner diesel fuel  Very low sulfur enables after-treatment Exhaust after-treatment Exhaust after-treatment  PM traps > 90% efficient  NOx catalysts 50-90% efficiency potential Alternative fuels: natural gas Alternative fuels: natural gas New technologies: fuel cells New technologies: fuel cells

16 Cleaner Alternative-Fuel Trucks

17 Fuel Cell Bus

18 CARB Cleaner Fuels Program 1992: Eliminated lead from gasoline, limited vapor pressure, required oxygenates in winter to reduce carbon monoxide 1992: Eliminated lead from gasoline, limited vapor pressure, required oxygenates in winter to reduce carbon monoxide 1996: Introduced “cleaner-burning gasoline” to achieve maximum reductions in ozone and toxics 1996: Introduced “cleaner-burning gasoline” to achieve maximum reductions in ozone and toxics 1999: Phase out MTBE by 2002, reduce sulfur and benzene further 1999: Phase out MTBE by 2002, reduce sulfur and benzene further

19 Cleaner Industrial Sources Best controls on new and existing sources Best controls on new and existing sources Controls for NOx, ROG, SOx, CO, toxics Controls for NOx, ROG, SOx, CO, toxics Diesel particulate matter controls to reduce toxics risk Diesel particulate matter controls to reduce toxics risk
