Climate Change, Greenhouse Gas Reductions and Supporting the Clean Energy Economy. Climate change is a defining issue of our time, and Massachusetts is a nation-leading force to address this issue on many different levels: reducing greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, mitigating energy price volatility, improving energy security and growing clean energy jobs, and assisting local governments increase their climate resiliency through risk assessment and planning. Massachusetts will continue to lead on the reduction of power plant emissions under the nine-state Regional Greenhouse Gas Initiative (RGGI). With its lower adjusted regional emissions cap, the program will significantly cut GHG emissions while making funds available for energy efficiency efforts in Massachusetts. With the newly released national program for reducing GHGs from power plants, MassDEP and its partners will ensure that the Commonwealth meets the federal requirements while attaining the state’s goals under the Global Warming Solutions Act, particularly working towards our 2020 goal. Working with the Department of Energy Resources (DOER), we will also ensure that Massachusetts will comply with the Federal Clean Power Plan through RGGI and make any necessary adjustments with the other participating RGGI states. We will also keep up our efforts to support the deployment of more zero- emission and alternative technology vehicles, zero net energy drinking water and wastewater treatment facilities, as well as place solar panels or wind turbines on closed landfills or once-contaminated parcels. In addition, MassDEP will work with municipalities to analyze local risks and vulnerabilities, design and implement mitigation strategies, and support emergency response capabilities, in order to minimize the long term negative effects of climate changes on infrastructure, public health and natural systems. By supporting these changes, we will be supporting job growth and technological innovations in this sector. MassDEP will work as part of the Energy and Environmental Affairs (EEA) team to advance state Greenhouse Gas (GHG) reduction programs. This work will involve updating the 1990 and 2020 “business as usual” GHG emission inventories, providing assistance in data analysis, goal setting, and public participation opportunities. MassDEP will also work with EEA and Massachusetts Department of Transportation (Mass DOT) to implement the transportation regulations and policies to reduce emissions from that sector. We will continue to be involved in and propose other transportation efforts lik...
