Hydrogen Transportation: designates the 21 interstate freeways in California as the "California Hydrogen Highway Network" and directs state agencies to plan and build a network of hydrogen fueling stations along these routes by 2010
California Executive Order S-3-05[4][16] (June 2005, signed by Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger) sets
greenhouse gas emissions reduction targets for the State of California and laid out responsibilities among the state agencies for implementing the Executive Order and for reporting on progress toward the targets.
Specifically, the Executive Order established these targets:
By 2010, reduce GHG emissions to 2000 levels
By 2020, reduce GHG emissions to 1990 levels
By 2050, reduce GHG emissions to 80 percent below 1990 levels
California Executive Order B-30-15[13] (April 2015, signed by Governor
Jerry Brown) added the intermediate target of:
By 2030, reduce GHG emissions to 40 percent below 1990 levels.
This intermediate target was codified into law by SB 32, which was signed into law by Governor Jerry Brown on September 8, 2016.[18][19] On July 17, 2017, the legislature passed AB 398, which authorized the Air Resources Board to operate a cap and trade system to achieve these emissions reductions.[20][21]
B-55-18
California Executive Order B-55-18[22] (Sept 2018, signed by Governor Jerry Brown) took the further step of:
California Executive Order N-70-29 (September 2020, signed by Governor
Gavin Newsom) established this executive order with the goal:
For all new passenger cars and trucks to be zero-emission by 2035
All medium- and heavy-duty vehicles to be zero-emission by 2045 for all operations where feasible
All drayage trucks to be zero-emission by 2035
All off-road vehicles and equipment to be zero-emission by 2035
The Executive Order requires the
California Air Resources Board to promulgate regulations implementing these goals and for state agencies to accelerate the deployment of affordable fueling and charging options for zero-emissions vehicles, and to develop a Zero-Emissions Vehicle Market Development Strategy by January 31, 2021.
