Please save October 7, 2013 for a public workshop to discuss
potential changes to the California Cap on Greenhouse Gas
Emissions and Market-Based Compliance Mechanism relating to
allocation benchmarks and approaches to refineries, hydrogen and
coke calcining.
TOPIC: Refineries and Related Industries Workshop
DATE: Monday, October 7, 2013
TIME: 1 pm to 4 pm
LOCATION: Coastal Hearing Room, 2nd Floor, Cal/EPA HQ Building,
1001 "I" Street, Sacramento
This workshop will focus on allowance allocation to refineries
under the Cap-and-Trade Program during the second and third
compliance periods. The Air Resources Board will discuss its
proposed regulatory changes in this area. Under the current
regulation, the carbon dioxide-weighted tonne will form the basis
of these allocations. ARB is considering the complexity weighted
barrel approach. Potential changes to allocations for two
related activities, hydrogen production and calcining coke, will
also be discussed.
The agenda for the workshop will be available on ARB's
Cap-and-Trade Workshops and Meetings webpage:
http://www.arb.ca.gov/cc/capandtrade/meetings/meetings.htm
All interested stakeholders are invited to attend. A live
webcast of the meeting will be available
at:http://www.calepa.ca.gov/broadcast/?BDO=1
Background
The California Cap-and-Trade Regulation (Regulation) was formally
adopted by the Air Resources Board (ARB or Board) in 2011. In
2012, the Board adopted a limited set of amendments focused on
implementation of the Regulation. In response to Board direction
and further discussions with stakeholders, staff began a public
process this spring to propose additional amendments for Board
consideration in late October 2013. Refinery stakeholders have
requested reconsideration of the carbon dioxide-weighted tonne
allocation method. This workshop will cover refinery and related
product considerations for potential new amendments.
