LIVE SESSIONS JULY 28 - 30. Track: Electrification of Transportation

Battery Electric Vehicles (BEVs) have zero tailpipe emissions but what is the total well-to-wheel impact of these vehicles? The sustainability of transport rests on having a clean power generation source, and managing the time of day people charge. How are utilities, auto OEMs, fleet owners and others building a sustainable EV charging infrastructure? What additional local policies and subsidies are needed to scale this market? Lithium-ion batteries have dominated the EV market, but does room exist for hydrogen and other alternative fuels? How is the EV ecosphere planning to address the challenges of battery recycling?

SAVE THE DATE - SEPTEMBER 10 - Ballard invites you to discover the future of marine propulsion! Across the world, organizations and governments are taking action to tighten GHG emission standards for marine vessels. Now is the time to look at solutions, and to move forward with a plan to switch to zero-emission technologies.

Fuel cell systems using renewable hydrogen are the most viable and scalable zero-emission solutions for marine vessels. Ballard's fuel cell technology can deliver zero-emission, fast fueling, reliability, long range, low weight and low volume marine propulsion for ferries, barges and fishing, cruise ships and shore power.

On September 10th, 2020 Ballard will launch its new 200kW fuel cell module "FCwave" for marine applications.

Sign up and join us when we present the new module through an online product launch.

SEPTEMBER 24TH FROM 10:00AM - 12:00PM MT. A total transformation of how workers commute and how companies transport products is already underway, yet the electrification of transportation poses significant infrastructure and technology adoption challenges. Investigate how technology can pave a path forward with innovative approaches to vehicles, infrastructure, fuels, and energy storage.

FRIDAY, JULY 17TH FROM 10:00AM- 12:00PM. The California Air Resources Board (CARB or Board) invites you to participate in a public workshop to provide input on CARB’s development of the Clean Miles Standard, which aims to reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions from transportation network company (TNC) services. Staff will present updated preliminary GHG and electric vehicle miles traveled (eVMT) targets, as well as additional provisions of the regulation, including potential credits and exemptions for small companies. Staff will request stakeholder comments following the workshop to be submitted to [email protected] through August 20, 2020. Staff’s presentation and any additional workshop-related documents will be posted prior to the workshop day on CARB’s Clean Miles Standard website. This public meeting will be conducted via GoToWebinar. Please register as an attendee prior to the start of the workshop using the link provided. After registering, you will receive a confirmation email with information about joining the webinar.

Background

Senate Bill (SB) 1014 (Skinner, 2018) – the Clean Miles Standard and Incentive Program – requires CARB to develop and the California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC) to implement a GHG reduction program for TNCs. As part of SB 1014, CARB established a base year GHG emission inventory in January 2020 for the TNC sector on a per-passenger-mile basis. SB 1014 directs CARB to adopt GHG per passenger mile reduction and percent eVMT targets for TNCs by January 1, 2021. Staff anticipates achieving GHG goals through increased use of zero-emission vehicles and increased pooling, as well as use of transit and micromobility modes facilitated by the TNCs. The Clean Miles Standard regulatory proposal, currently being developed, is scheduled for Board consideration in December 2020.

This regulation will be designed to support the goals set forth in SB 32, which requires California to reduce GHG emissions to 40 percent below 1990 levels by 2030. The transportation sector is the largest GHG emissions category and accounts for almost 50 percent of GHG emissions in California when accounting for fuel production. Light-duty vehicles make up over half of the transportation sector’s emissions. In 2018, TNCs contributed approximately 1 percent of GHG emissions in the light-duty vehicle sector.
