MONDAY, SEPTEMBER 21 AT 10:00AM PT. Ricardo is hosting a webinar with California Air Resources Board (CARB) and California Hydrogen Business Council (CHBC) on Sept 21 to discuss the California Advanced Clean Truck Regulation, its impact on clean truck industry and funding opportunities availability. This is an informative precursor webinar to CARB's workshop on the next day Sept 22 regarding the regulation reporting requirements. Hope you can join.

Meeting the mandate of the California’s ACT Regulation on time could be the most discussed topic recently in the clean goods movement industry.

Understand the timeline and requirements of this regulation; identify potential challenges that truck OEMs could be facing to meet the mandate on time; its impact on OEM and Tier 1 providers’ future propulsion technology portfolio, product development cycle and commercialization plan; funding landscape and NGO support are some of the areas that this webinar will address. This is an informed precursor webinar that you must attend if you are joining the Sept 22nd CARB workshop on “Reporting Requirements For Large Entities and Fleets Under the Advanced Clean Truck Regulation”

Featured Speakers:
Rob Del Core, Assistant Vice President, Tech & Strategy, Ricardo North America
Leslie Goodbody, Engineer, Innovative Heavy Duty Strategies, California Air Resources Board
Bill Zobel, Executive Director, California Hydrogen Business Council

FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 25 FROM 1:00PM - 5:00PM PT. The California Energy Commission (CEC) will conduct a workshop to gather information on the assessment of funding programs for clean transportation, primarily focusing on zero emission vehicles (ZEVs). This was originally scheduled as the afternoon session of the workshop held on August 19, 2020. The session was cancelled in response to unprecedented stress to the state’s electricity grid due to a heat wave. The workshop is part of the CEC’s 2020 Integrated Energy Policy Report Update (2020 IEPR Update) proceeding. A quorum of commissioners may participate, but no votes will be taken.

THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 10 FROM 9:00AM- 10:15 PT. Join the California Hydrogen Business Council (CHBC) for a webinar discussing the German National Hydrogen Strategy. Germany published the National Hydrogen Strategy in June 2020 and approved € 9 billion of funding for green hydrogen production, of which €2 billion are earmarked for projects outside of Germany.

"The Federal Government is providing a coherent framework for the generation, transport and use of hydrogen, encouraging the relevant innovations and investment. The Strategy sets out the steps that are needed to meet the German climate targets, create new value chains for the German economy and foster energy policy cooperation at international level." The strategy is available here

This webinar will:
- present a briefing on the German National Hydrogen Strategy;
- provide the next steps to implementation; and
- highlight opportunities for project development in the U.S. and California under this program

WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 2 FROM 1:00AM - 2:00AM PST. Hydrogen shall serve as the backbone for the successful defossilization of our economies. For its transportation, storage and distribution compression is the key. As the lightest element hydrogen has special requirements for efficient compression solutions.

This webinar shall provide an overview of current compression technologies and evaluate their suitability for the various applications in the upcoming H2 economy. Typical examples of successful installations of different sizes will be shown.

The webinar participant will get an overview of available compression technologies and learn about their limits and characteristics get a feeling for energy and space demand

FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 18 FROM 10:00AM - 3:00PM. The California Air Resources Board (CARB) invites you to participate in a public workshop for the proposed Advanced Clean Fleets regulation.  This regulation is focused on strategies to ensure that the cleanest vehicles are deployed by government, business, and other entities in California to meet their transportation needs.  This effort is part of a comprehensive strategy to achieve a zero-emission vehicle (ZEV) truck and bus fleet by 2045 everywhere feasible and significantly earlier for certain market segments such as last mile delivery, public fleets, and drayage applications.  The initial focus of the proposed regulation would be on larger entities and the vehicles they use or hire to meet their needs.

Interested parties must register in order to participate.

REGISTRATION

Meeting materials will be made available in advance of the workshop meeting on the program website.  Please review meeting materials and be prepared to provide feedback at the meeting.

MORE INFORMATION

The purpose of this workshop is to solicit feedback on fleet rules to complement the manufacturer ZEV sales requirement in the recently approved Advanced Clean Trucks regulation.  It is a continuation of the first workshop held in February 2020.  At this meeting, staff will be discussing concepts that include potential purchase requirements for public fleets, establishing a ZEV fleet standard, a green fleet contracting strategy, and ways to promote innovative transportation technologies.  This effort is part of California’s holistic plan to address challenging Federal air quality mandates, to protect the public health of all Californians, and to meet sustainability goals.  For more information on the ACT regulation, please visit the ACT website.

BACKGROUND
Achieving California’s long-term air quality, climate, and public health goals will require a transition from the conventional combustion technologies to zero-emission everywhere feasible and near-zero-emission powered by clean, low-carbon renewable fuels everywhere else.  Promoting the development and use of zero-emission trucks will contribute to the goals set in the Sustainable Freight Action Plan and will help achieve emission reductions as outlined in the State Implementation Plan, Senate Bill (SB) 350 (de León, Chapter 547, Statutes of 2015), Assembly Bill 32 (Nuñez, Chapter 488, Statutes of 2006), and SB 32 (Pavley, Chapter 249, Statutes of 2016).  This effort is part of a broader strategy to increase clean, affordable transportation options such as zero-emission technologies, innovative methods to improve goods movement, and efficiency of transportation systems in California.
