Outreach and Education

FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 18 AT 9:30AM PACIFIC. The California Air Resources Board (CARB or Board) invites you to participate in a public workgroup meeting to discuss the Advanced Technology Demonstration and Pilot projects that were approved in the FY 2021-22 Low Carbon Transportation (LCT) Funding Plan.  Five project categories were approved supported by an allocation of $40 million from the Greenhouse Gas Reduction Fund.

At this workshop, staff will discuss the five project categories that were approved: Municipal Green Zones, Resilient Zero-Emission Vessel Charging Project, Modular Zero-Emission Capable Cargo Handling Equipment Demonstration, Emission Reductions for Ocean Going Vessels, and Zero-Emission Intrastate Line Haul Locomotives projects.  Additionally, staff will discuss the opportunities for a third-party administrator to oversee implementation of the Municipal Green Zones project and how a potential third-party administrator candidate can compete to implement the rest of the projects that are selected for funding.
Additionally, staff will discuss project implementation options and opportunities, project disadvantaged community requirements, match funding requirements, eligible applicants and project timelines.
The meeting agenda and any handouts will be posted to the Low Carbon Transportation Investments and Air Quality Improvement Program website ahead of the meeting.

TUESDAY, FEBRUARY 8 AT 11:00AM PACIFIC. The Coalition for Clean Air is proud to continue our Clean Air Conversation series to discuss challenges and solutions (!) around air quality. Focused on our mission of protecting public health, improving air quality and preventing climate change, these conversations are a great way to educate yourself on the issues of the day and support our work. Unlike a traditional webinar, our conversation series are an interactive discussion with presenters and attendees as we discuss a variety of clean air topics.

THE ROLE OF ALTERNATIVE FUELS IN CALIFORNIA’S TRANSPORTATION FUTURE
February 8, 2022 – 11 am

California has been a leader in deploying cleaner alternatives to the fuels we use every day in our vehicles. Renewable natural gas, hydrogen, renewable diesel and even sustainable aviation fuel all play roles in lowering our carbon footprint and reducing local air pollution. But questions remain. How can we best utilize alternative fuels to address the continuing crises of climate change and air pollution? What are the environmental and economic challenges facing each fuel? From an operator perspective, what makes the most practical sense? Do certain applications have more advantages than others? Join us on February 8 as we dive into these questions and more with the experts who are making low-carbon fuels a reality. Panelists include Professor Jack Brouwer , Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering, UC Irvine, Tim Olson, California Energy Commission, Nate Taylor, Southern California Gas Company and Bruce MacRae, UPS.
