Quick Glance: New EPA Clean Car Rules: California Comparison
  • The Biden administration announced new automobile emissions standards, described as the most ambitious plan to reduce emissions from passenger vehicles.

  • California is moving faster than the federal government to push the transportation sector to slash emissions by banning the sale of new internal combustion engine vehicles starting in 2035.

  • The EPA rule applies to model years 2027 to 2032 and will significantly reduce emissions from new passenger cars.

  • Environmental groups have welcomed the new EPA plans aimed at reducing emissions from a source responsible for one-fifth of the nation's carbon pollution.

Oil and gas companies emit more climate-warming methane than EPA reports
Quick Glance: Oil and Gas Industry Emitting Significantly Higher Methane Levels Than Reported
  • A new study reveals that the oil and gas industry emits about three times the amount of climate-warming methane than government estimates show.

  • Researchers used airplanes to collect nearly one million measurements of methane emissions from six domestic oil and gas production areas.

  • The study found that the industry releases an average of 2.95% of the gas it produces as methane into the air, almost three times the EPA estimates.

  • Despite declining methane emissions in the US, more efforts are needed to achieve global climate goals, including reducing methane emissions from the energy sector.
