City of Pleasanton—Hidden Canyon Residences and Preserve Greenhouse Gas Emissions Draft EIR 3.7-6 FirstCarbon Solutions https://adecinnovations.sharepoint.com/sites/PublicationsSite/Shared Documents/Publications/Client (PN-JN)/2148/21480016/EIR/3 - Draft EIR/21480016 Sec03-07 GHG.docx • California Energy Commission (CEC): The State’s energy policy and planning agency, responsible for climate change-related programs including energy efficiency and leading the State to a 100 percent clean energy reality. The CEC mandates building energy efficiency standards (in new and existing buildings) and manages the Renewables Portfolio Standard (RPS). • California Department of Resources Recycling and Recovery (CalRecycle): California’s recycling and waste management agency, responsible for implementation of State climate policies including landfill methane emissions reduction, waste-to-energy production, and composting requirements. CalRecycle implements food and yard waste recycling regulations, including mandates to cut organic waste disposal 75 percent by 2025. • California Governor’s Office of Planning and Research (OPR): California’s long-range planning agency, responsible for implementing California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) review and conducting Statewide research on all climate change policies and impacts. As a result of these actions, California reached its 2020 GHG emissions reduction target of reducing GHG emissions back to 1990 levels 4 years early and is on track to meet the 2030 GHG reduction target. Below is a summary of State regulations that are applicable to the proposed project and will serve to reduce GHG emissions now and in the future to ensure California stays on the path to meeting the State-mandated 2030 and 2045 targets: • Advanced Clean Cars II (ACC II): Designed to reach 100 percent new vehicle Zero-Emission Vehicles (ZEVs) and clean plug-in hybrid-electric vehicles (PHEVs) in California by the 2035 model year. • Advanced Clean Fleets: A manufacturer requirement for 100 percent of sales of medium- and heavy-duty vehicles to be ZEVs by 2036, and fleet requirements to purchase and deploy ZEVs in State and local government fleets, drayage truck operations, and high-priority federal fleets. • Advanced Clean Trucks Regulation: Require fleets to transition to ZEV medium- and heavy- duty vehicles. • Small Off-Road Engine Regulations: Transition 100 percent of small off-road spark-ignition engines (at or below 25.5 horsepower and used in non-stationary equipment) to zero- emission by 2035 (where feasible). • Low Carbon Fuel Standard: Increase the availability and use of low carbon fuels, including renewable diesel, biodiesel, renewable, and natural gas by mandating that the fuel carbon intensity in California must achieve a 20 percent reduction by 2030. • Renewable Portfolio Standard: One of California’s key programs for advancing renewable energy, it sets continuously escalating renewable energy procurement requirements for the State’s load-serving entities. All entities must procure 60 percent of their electricity portfolio from renewable energy resources by 2030.
