However, an estimate of emission reductions is not currently available, but will be developed as part of these planning efforts. 5 7 10 April 11, 2016
Cost-Effective Measures with Significant Health Benefits Significantly reducing SLCP emissions in line with the targets presented in this Proposed Strategy will continue California’s long and successful legacy of implementing innovative and effective environmental and health policies while fostering the growth of a vibrant and sustainable economy. The proposed actions can contribute to health, environmental, and economic benefits that will positively impact Californian businesses and individuals. Many of these benefits will be concentrated in disadvantaged communities or other parts of the State most in need of economic development opportunities, including the San Joaquin Valley, rural areas where wood smoke is a primary health concern, and communities along freight corridors. Collectively, implementing these measures would bring thousands of jobs from several billion dollars of investment in clean technologies and strategies that would lead to significant reductions in SLCP emissions. Potential revenues and efficiency savings could also be significant – and potentially outweigh the costs of some measures. In particular, for projects that utilize organic waste to create transportation fuel, the value of LCFS credits and RIN credits from the federal Renewable Fuel Standard can make these projects profitable. However, there remain significant institutional, market, and technical uncertainties that must be addressed, and continued incentives and State support can help to demonstrate and scale these strategies. In other cases, there may be net costs, but associated SLCP emission reductions may come at relatively low cost or provide other environmental and health benefits. For example, strategies at dairies that may not include energy production and associated revenues can still reduce emissions at low cost, and may deliver other environmental benefits, as well. And the collection of HFC measures identified in this Proposed Strategy could reduce GHG emissions by 260 MMTCO 2 e cumulatively through 2030 (20-year GWP) at a very low cost per tonne. Achieving the targets identified in this Proposed Strategy would help reduce ambient levels of ozone and particulate matter, and the cardiovascular and respiratory health effects associated with air pollution. These and other health benefits can be maximized as part of an integrated approach to ensure that strategies used to reduce SLCP emissions also help to improve air quality and water quality on a regional basis. Many of these benefits would accrue in disadvantaged communities, which are often located near sources of SLCP emissions. The proposed actions are supported through an integrated set of air quality and climate policies in the State, including the Low Carbon Fuel Standard, Bioenergy Feed-In-Tariff, utility investments to defray the costs of connecting renewable natural gas supplies to the pipeline, and direct investments from State funds. Together, and with additional targeted State support, we can meet the goals identified in this Proposed Strategy and capture additional economic, environmental and health benefits. 11 April 11, 2016
