Public °ewe,,, Hearing Draft <br />strengthened every three years, with the ultimate goal of making new buildings net -zero <br />energy, meaning that they would generate as much energy as they use. The most <br />recent set of Title 24 standards went into effect on January 1, 2020. This policy will reduce <br />GHG emissions from electricity and natural gas use in new homes and non-residential <br />buildings. <br />Local Carbon Fuel Standard: The Low Carbon Fuel Standard was adopted in 2009 and <br />required a 10 percent reduction in the carbon intensity of all transportation and <br />equipment fuels by 2020. This policy reduces GHG emissions from on -road transportation <br />and from off -road equipment. <br />Innovative Clean Transit: California's Innovative Clean Transit regulation, also known as <br />the Zero -Emission Bus standard, was adopted in 2018. It requires California's public transit <br />agencies to use all zero -emission buses, such as battery electric and hydrogen fuel cell <br />models, by 2040. This regulation will reduce emissions from on -road transportation <br />activities. <br />Collectively, the State reduction efforts are expected to reduce San Leandro's GHG <br />emissions by 16,910 MTCO2e below forecast levels by 2020; 122,580 MTCO2e by 2030; and <br />218,490 MTCO2e by 2050. Table �7 shows the emissions reductions from individual State <br />activities. <br />There are other programs that reduce GHG emissions that State agencies have adopted <br />or are planning to put into effect These are not included in this section because of <br />uncertainty about how these programs will be applied. In many cases, State programs may <br />be implemented by local actions, and reductions associated with these programs are <br />included in the local reduction strategies discussed later in this chapter. <br />Page 60 San Leandro 2021 Climate Action Plan <br />
