Overview Regional Greenhouse Gas Initiative (RGGI) Greenhouse Gas Emissions Reduction Act of 2009 (GGRA) Other Agencies Federal Impacts

RGGI Offset Options Landfill Methane Capture and Destruction Reduction in Emissions of Sulfur Hexafluoride (SF 6 ) Sequestration of Carbon due to Afforestation Reduction or Avoidance of CO 2 Emissions from Natural Gas, Oil, or Propane End-Use Combustion due to End-Use Energy Efficiency Avoided Methane Emissions from Agricultural Manure Management Operations

RGGI Offset Status ICF International developed technical guidance for each offset option –Cooperative review of all documents Two applications received to date –Massachusetts Building Energy –New York SF 6

Greenhouse Gas Emissions Reduction Act of 2009 Establish and implement a plan to reduce greenhouse gas emissions in Maryland by 25% below 2006 levels by 2020

GGRA “Provide for the use of offset credits generated by alternative compliance mechanisms executed within the State, including carbon sequestration projects to achieve compliance with greenhouse gas emissions reductions required by the subtitle.” “Alternative compliance mechanism”

Other Agencies Department of Agriculture (MDA) Public Service Commission (PSC) Department of Natural Resources (DNR)

Federal Impacts Federal program may preempt any Maryland or RGGI GHG carbon market Waxman-Markey Bill – USDA overseeing offsets (2009) Kerry-Boxer Bill has President overseeing offsets (2009) –Bill did not pass Senate Kerry-Lieberman (2010)
