California Environmental Quality Act Office of Planning and Research to develop and recommend new guidelines to analyze greenhouse gas impacts under CEQA. California’s Natural Resources Agency adopted new guidelines on December 31, 2009, requiring lead agencies to analyze greenhouse gas emissions under section 15064.4 during their CEQA review through California. The major category of greenhouse gas emissions resulting from human activities is carbon dioxide. Several other primary gases also include methane, nitrous oxide, sulfur hexafluoride, perfluorocarbons, and hydrofluorocarbons. Greenhouse gas sources resulting from project construction activities are typically generated from transportation of materials to the project site and petrol based equipment used during construction
Emissions Trading Scheme in South Korea in the scheme: Carbon Dioxide, Methane, Nitrous Oxide, Hydrofluorocarbons, Perfluorocarbons, and Sulfur hexafluoride. More than 525 business entities are subject to the ETS with specific emission targets set for each sectors. Similar to that of the European Union, South Korea has divided its emissions trading scheme into three phases. With differing time spans and targets within each phase. The country is currently in its first phase which started in 2015 and lasts until 2017. The second phase occupies a 3-year-span from 2018 to 2020 and the final third phase is from 2021 to 2025. During Phase 1 all permits will
