AB 32 Advisory Committees Market - create market-based compliance mechanisms for reducing GHG emissions Environmental Justice - reduce GHG emissions while maximizing the overall societal, economic, environmental, and public health benefits Economic Technology Advancement - activities that will facilitate investment in and implementation of technological research and development opportunities that will assist in GHG emission reductions Economic and Allocation – evaluate different allowance allocation strategies and how to structure a cap-and-trade system that will reduce GHG emissions
5
Potential Agriculture Strategies Livestock emissions Energy (biomass/biofuels/renewable energy) Efficiency improvements Land use/sequestration Research
6
Livestock Emissions Reduction of GHG emissions from livestock operations Potential Approaches Manure Management- methane digesters Enteric Fermentation-feeding additives
7
Production and use of renewable fuels in place of fossil fuels Potential Approaches Agricultural waste stream utilization Bio-fuel crops Renewable energy (solar, wind) Energy
8
Reduce GHG emissions through more efficient agricultural practices Potential Approaches Crop Management Water Management Pump Efficiency and Electrification Conservation Tillage Fertilizer Use Efficiency Efficiency Improvements
9
Research Explore improved agricultural practices and their impacts Potential Approaches Life Cycle Analysis Best Practice Protocols Fertilizer N 2 O Emissions
10
Campaign to Defeat the Dirty Energy Proposition Passage would effectively repeal Assembly Bill 32 (clean energy and air pollution reduction law) Claim that it ’ s simply a “ suspension ” is deceptive and untrue “ Suspend until unemployment reaches 5.5% for full year ” Unemployment only at that arbitrarily low point 3 times in last 3 decades
