Additionally, on September 26 Governor Schwarzenegger signed SB 107, which requires California's three major biggest utilities – Pacific Gas & Electric, Southern California Edison, and San Diego Gas & Electric – to produce at least 20% of their electricity using renewable sources by 2010. This shortens the time span originally enacted by ...
AB 32 requires the California Air Resources Board (CARB or ARB) to create regulations and market mechanisms to reduce the state's greenhouse gas emissions to 1990 levels by 2020, a 30% statewide reduction, [3] with mandatory caps beginning in 2012 for significant emissions sources. The bill also allows the Governor to suspend the emissions caps ...
California’s gas prices already average $4.00 per gallon, about a dollar higher than the national average. High gas prices hit the state’s low- and middle-income households, and rural ...
Carbon-neutral fuels can lead to greenhouse gas remediation because carbon dioxide gas would be reused to produce fuel instead of being released into the atmosphere. Capturing the carbon dioxide in flue gas emissions from power plants would eliminate their greenhouse gas emissions, although burning the fuel in vehicles would release that carbon ...
Gas appliances in California homes are responsible for four times more nitrogen-oxide — a key component of smog — than power plants. Upgrading from gas to electric reduces exposure to the ...
California is embracing carbon capture and storage technology to fight global warming, but critics say it will only increase oil production. California hopes to fight global warming by pumping CO2 ...
CO 2 can be dry reformed in to CO gas at 800-850 °C by reacting with petcoke, biochar, coal, etc. using low cost iron based catalysts. Using cheaper renewable electricity like solar or wind energy, this cheaper method converts petcoke and green house gas CO 2 in to useful fuel like methanol achieving carbon capture and utilization.

California regulators are poised to vote Friday on a measure intended to accelerate the state’s transition away from fossil fuels by imposing tougher carbon-reduction requirements for gasoline ...
