The Global Warming Solutions Act of 2006, or Assembly Bill (AB) 32, is a California state law that fights global warming by establishing a comprehensive program to reduce greenhouse gas emissions from all sources throughout the state.
In 2018, California spent $1.4 billion raised from its cap and trade program to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, out of $3.4 billion spent cumulatively since 2012; notable projects include California High-Speed Rail and the Clean Vehicle Rebate for low-emission vehicles. [65]
The carbon dioxide used to make synthetic fuels may be directly captured from the air, recycled from power plant flue exhaust gas or derived from carbonic acid in seawater. Common examples of synthetic fuels include ammonia and methane , [ 2 ] although more complex hydrocarbons such as gasoline and jet fuel [ 3 ] have also been successfully ...
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 ...
Based on research by CARB and UC Riverside, if all gasoline in California had been E15 in 2022, there would have been a 450-million-gallon reduction in petroleum consumption and greenhouse gas ...
The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency is considering approval of California's first ever carbon storage project, to be in Kern County.
Californian Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger issued Executive Order S-1-07 on January 19, 2007, to enact a low-carbon fuel standard (LCFS). [14] [15] The LCFS requires oil refineries and distributors to ensure that the mix of fuel they sell in the Californian market meets the established declining targets for greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions measured in CO 2-equivalent grams per unit of fuel ...
Nicholas Flanders describes the company's technology as "industrial photosynthesis" to create jet fuel and diesel from carbon dioxide. [21] [22] Their technology has been shown to convert CO 2 from raw biogas into carbon neutral methane. [23] [24]
