California Air Resources Board Draft 2022 Scoping Plan Appendix H AB 32 GHG Inventory Sector Modeling

Summary

This appendix details the technical methodology used by the California Air Resources Board (CARB) for modeling greenhouse gas (GHG) emission reduction scenarios for its Draft 2022 Scoping Plan. The core challenge is to identify long-term GHG mitigation strategies and reduce fossil fuel dependence across various sectors in California. CARB employs the E3 California PATHWAYS model to explore different technology and fuel options, projecting energy demand, emissions, and costs out to 2050. This work is currently in progress as part of the drafting process for the statewide Scoping Plan.
