Cal. Code Regs. tit. 17 § 91500

Current through Register 2024 Notice Reg. No. 50, December 13, 2024

Section 91500 - Purpose

This regulation establishes a statewide methodology for use by air pollution control and air quality management districts (Districts) when calculating the value of emission reduction credits from stationary, mobile, or area sources. As such, this regulation (1) provides a uniform exchange mechanism for stationary, mobile, and area source credits; and (2) provides for the use of credits as a compliance alternative for meeting specified District control requirements. The regulation is intended to ensure that interchangeable credits represent verified emission reductions that are real, permanent, quantifiable, enforceable, and surplus to those emission reductions which are needed to comply with existing requirements and with District air quality plans.
