6 6 California Sources of GHG Source: California Energy Commission 2005

7 7 California Global Warming Solutions Act of 2006 (AB32) Statewide GHG emissions cap: 1990 emission level by 2020 Regulatory and market mechanisms for real, quantifiable, cost-effective GHG reductions Air Resources Board (ARB) responsible for monitoring and reducing GHG emissions.

8 8 Future Climate-related Challenges for Bay Area Population increase to 8.8 million by 2030 Predicted GHG emissions increase of 19% by 2016 Predicted temperature increase between 2.5ºF - 10.4ºF by 2100 Increase heat = greater ozone Increases in heat-related deaths, and higher risks of respiratory problems, short and long term

9 Number of Extreme Heat days per Year 0 20 40 60 80 100 120 140 CurrentlyHigher Warming Scenario Mid Warming Scenario Low Warming Scenario San Francisco Extreme Heat Days 2070-90 Source: CEC 2006 Report “Our Changing Climate”

10 10 Air Districts’ Role in AB 32 Not firmly established by AB 32 Climate Action Team local govt. committee Substantial technical expertise available Opportunity to avoid duplicative efforts Regulating GHG’s is complimentary to the District’s existing goals Existing regulatory framework is efficient and effective

11 11 BAAQMD role is Crucial to Success of AB32 BAAQMD needs to be key player - Chair, CAPCOA District already has established mechanism for emissions reporting Emission verification of mandatory reports In NSR process, BACT and ERC’s can easily be applied to GHG’s Current ERC system similar to future GHG Cap & Trade Outreach to business, local governments, ICLEI

12 12 Current Core District Initiatives Integration –GHG impacts considered in every District program Climate Neutral – offset carbon footprint $3 million Climate Protection Grant Program - Providing important seed $ for innovations GHG Stationary Source Mitigation Study Bay Area GHG Emission Inventory Energy Efficiency K-12 Curriculum Development

13 13 BAAQMD Leadership is Essential Proven worldwide leader in setting emission standards Already integrating climate protection measures including: - Board subcommittee on Climate Change - Climate protection in CEQA comments - Rulemaking Co-benefits for GHG reductions with stringent criteria and toxic air pollutant limits Climate Protection Summit with Al Gore, key players Member - CCAR, Green Business Certified; Climate Neutral on June 1, 2007

14 14 Role of Compliance & Enforcement Division Over 100 on staff, Including 70+ field inspectors Compliance assistance, outreach, communicate GHG requirements Potential verification of GHG inventory calculations Review 3 rd party verification reports Provide hands-on verification for involved state agencies, i.e. ARB, CEC, CCAR, On-site auditing, i.e. throughputs, MSDS, source tests, sampling, etc.
