Civic Exchange 2009 The Air We Breathe Conference - The Economics of Managing Damaging Pollutants from Marine Sources
1. Lessons from Controlling
Emissions from Transportation
in California
Alan C. Lloyd, Ph.D.
President
Presented at the Air Quality Symposium
Hong Kong, CHINA
January 9, 2009
2. International Council on Clean Transportation
Goal of the ICCT is to dramatically reduce conventional pollutant and greenhouse gas
emissions from all transportation sources in order to improve air quality and human
health, and mitigate climate change.
Promotes best practices and comprehensive solutions to:
– Improve vehicle emissions and efficiency
– Increase fuel quality and sustainability of alternative fuels
– Reduce pollution from the in-use fleet, and
– Curtail emissions from international goods movement.
The Council is made up of leading regulators and experts from around the world.

4. Critical Facets of California Program
Strong research program
Strong public and legislative support
Active environmental groups - lawsuits
Updating regulatory program based on new
research and technical information
Slide 4
5. Key Ingredients of Regulatory Program
Fuels and engine treated as a system
Technology forcing standards
Reducing photochemical reactivity of fuels and
solvents
Identifying diesel particulates as a toxic air
contaminant
Emission standards set irrespective of fuel
Addressing other emission sources as they become
major
– e.g. marine

6. Controlling Emissions from Marine and Goods
Movement: Measures Adopted in California
Main engine, auxiliary engine and boiler rule
Commercial harbor craft rule
At berth emissions rule
Slide 6
7. Concluding Observations
Public health is the key driver
Technology forcing standards have worked
Zero emissions should be the goal
Major progress - yet still exceeding health
based air quality standards for PM and O3!
