Cap-and-Trade Regulation

By admin - 1st November 2011

On Oct. 20, 2011, the California Air Resources Board (CARB) approved final regulations establishing the United States’ first economy-wide greenhouse gas (GHG) cap-and-trade program, pursuant to authority granted under the California Global Warming Solutions Act of 2006 (AB 32). Once approved by the California Office of Administrative Law, the final regulation will go into effect on Jan. 1, 2012, with the first compliance period for which covered entities must hold compliance instruments set to begin on Jan. 1, 2013. The action concludes a rulemaking process that has spanned nearly three years and was interrupted by a court order that temporarily barred CARB from proceeding with development of the cap-and-trade program under AB 32.

EPA Releases Air Quality Model to Study Harmful Air Pollution

By admin - 19th October 2011

WASHINGTON – The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) released a new version of its Community Multi-scale Air Quality model (CMAQ) that uses up-to-the minute meteorology and air chemistry data to determine how weather conditions affect pollution, and how pollution can affect and change weather. Version 5.0 of CMAQ allows scientists to analyze air quality at smaller, finer-resolution settings for individual towns and cities, and model air quality for the entire northern hemisphere. Currently, scientists use CMAQ to estimate air quality levels at the regional and national scales.
