To facilitate the development of measures to reduce dairy and
livestock emissions, SB 1383 (Lara, Chapter 395, Statutes of
2016) requires ARB to work with a broad range of stakeholders to
identify and address technical, market, regulatory, and other
challenges and barriers to the development of dairy methane
emission reduction projects. In response, ARB worked with the
California Department of Food and Agriculture, the California
Energy Commission, and the California Public Utilities Commission
to convene a Dairy and Livestock Working Group. More information
on the Working Group can be found at:
