The Road to Zero Emissions
Speaker Abstract
Beginning in 2024, many public and private heavy-duty fleets will be required to start purchasing or exchanging their trucks for zero emission vehicles, including refuse vehicles.
In this presentation, attendees will learn about the California Air Resources Board (CARB) Advanced Clean Fleets regulation and public and private fleet regulatory expectations. They will also learn about a multi-year advocacy effort to include renewable natural gas derived from organic waste in the rulemaking.
Finally, attendees will hear about how waste collection companies are grappling with zero emission technology and charging infrastructure requirements to meet these new regulations, while simultaneously working alongside their cities and counties to achieve SB 1383 organic waste diversion obligations.
Come join us and together we can dicuss the road to zero emissions!
