PHILADELPHIA DIESEL DIFFERENCE SUBCOMMITTEES

 

Mobile Source Emissions Reduction Credits


Date Formed

November 17, 2003

Purpose

To explore establishing a mobile source emissions reduction credit system for the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania. This system would be a voluntary, open-market trading program for credits generated by retrofitting vehicles with clean diesel technologies. Credits would be composed of emissions reductions that exceed reductions required by law. Thus, they would not be used to come into attainment in an area that is designated as "nonattainment" for a National Ambient Air Quality Standard.
