  1. Alternative Transportation and Energy Expo Mary D. Nichols, Chairman California Air Resources Board October 19, 2007 Transportation Planning Session

  2. Overview • Background • ARB Alternative Transportation and Energy Programs • Moving Forward • Conclusions

  3. The California Story • Over 23 million registered vehicles • Over 797 million miles every day • Over 37 million gallons of gasoline consumed each day • Mobile Sources: tons/day • PM ~ 125 • NOx ~ 2,700 • ROG ~ 1,200 *Numbers from 2000 data

  4. 0-5 Days 6-50 Days 50-100 Days >100 Days Over 90% of Californians Breathe Unhealthy Air at Times Days Over State Ozone Standard Days Over State PM10 Standard Based on 2000 Monitoring Data

  5. Health Air Quality - Respiratory Illness Weather-related Mortality Infectious and Tropical Diseases Agriculture Crop Yields Irrigation Demands Climate Changes Temperature Increase Forests Forest Composition Geographic Range of Forests Forest Health and Productivity Precipitation Patterns and Extremes Water Resources Water Supply Water Quality Competition for Water SeaLevel Rise Coastal Areas Erosion of Beaches Inundation of Coastal Wetlands Additional Costs to Protect Coastal Communities Source: Anne Grambsch, 1998 Species and Natural Areas Loss of Habitat and Species Potential Impacts of Climate Change on California

  6. ZEV Regulations – A Big Success • Spurred the development of advanced technology vehicles: • Battery electrics • Hybrids • Plug-in hybrids • Fuel cells • Hydrogen Internal Combustion Engines • Partial and Advanced Technology Partial ZEVs

  7. PZEVs(Near-Zero Conventional Vehicles) • Near-zero exhaust emissions (SULEV) • Zero evaporative emissions • 15 year/150,000 mile warranty • On-board diagnostics • California sales: 535,000 through MY 2006

  8. PZEVs BMW - 325i Chrysler - Sebring Dodge - Stratus Ford - Focus Honda - Accord (LX, EX) Hyundai - Elantra Kia - Spectra Mazda - 3, 6 Mitsubishi - Galant Nissan - Sentra, Altima Subaru - Legacy, Outback Toyota - Camry Volkswagen - Jetta Volvo - S60, V70

  9. AT PZEVs(Hybrids and Alternative Fuel Vehicles) • PZEV with “ZEV enabling” technology - Electric drive train, batteries, power management • Low fuel cycle emissions • Gaseous fuel storage • California sales: 24,000 through MY 2006

  10. AT PZEVs Currently Available • Ford - Escape • Honda - Civic Hybrid & GX • Toyota - Prius

  11. ZEVs • Promising technology • Emission benefits • Greater efficiency • Quiet and smooth operation • Not ready for volume production • Significant cost, manufacturing and performance challenges

  12. California Hydrogen Highway Network Mission: To assure that hydrogen infrastructure is in place to enable fuel cells and other hydrogen technologies to be used by consumers as those technologies reach commercial readiness. The CA H2 Net is a key part of California’s strategy to achieve the State’s vision of a secure energy future that simultaneously addresses our environmental, public health and economic challenges working in partnership with other components of the State’s programs to advance energy efficiency and renewable energy.

  13. Bringing Fuel Cell Buses To California • Two demonstrations in Northern California • Santa Clara Valley Transit Transportation Authority and San Mateo County Transit District • Alameda/Contra Costa Transit District and Golden Gate Bridge Highway and Transportation District

  14. California Fuel Cell Partnership California Fuel Cell Partnership • Formed January 1999 • Members include • Fuel cell and vehicle manufacturers • Energy providers • Government agencies

  15. California is Leading the Way • Over 20 stations • 120 fuel cell vehicles • 7 fuel cell buses on the roads

  16. Collaborative California Stationary Fuel Cell Collaborative • Members include • Federal, State and local government • Municipal utilities • National fuel cell organizations

  17. Collaborative CaSFFC - Goals • Promote stationary fuel cell commercialization • Work with industry, government, and others to identify siting opportunities • Establish communication with local agencies • Work with regulators to identify barriers

  18. CA Global Warming Solutions Act – AB 32

  19. Climate Change Regulations for Motor Vehicles - AB 1493

  20. Low Carbon Fuels

  21. Alternative Fuel Incentive Program (AFIP)

  22. AB 1007

  23. Drive Clean California • Consumer Education Campaign

  24. Our Goal Is Clean Air Everyday Controlling emissions from today’s technologies… working towards tomorrow’s zero emission technologies
