The California Air Resources Board Releases Its First Annual GHG Reporting Data and Preliminary Draft Regulation for State Level Cap and Trade Program

The California Air Resources Board was busy in late 2009 in addressing greenhouse gas emissions in the state. In particular, the board released a report of greenhouse gas data for the calendar year 2008 and a preliminary draft regulation for California’s proposed state level greenhouse gas (GHG) cap and trade program. In January 2010, the board will start the review process of public comments on its proposals and from it’s public workshops. From this point forward, it’s expected that California’s cap and trade program will develop very quickly.
