Submitted Comment Name marcia liberson Affiliation 350 Bay Area Action state Legislation Committee Subject Banking Allowances/hydrogen/CCS Message I had myihand raise but wasn't called. Info from Assembylmember Muratsuchi's office shows that the program's supply allowances has been greater than total emissions.. Oversupply causes low market carbon prices that don't drive significant emission reuctions. I appreciate your willingness to cut allowances and raise the price. However market particpants can bank purchased allowances which allows them to comply without significantly reducing their emissions beyond the expected business as usuall conditions. In 2018 the Independent Emissons Market Advisory Copmmittee asked CARB to adopt metrics for tracking on an annual and multi year compliance level basis. I don't' see any changes for having these metrics in place Also your 48% goal is based on having hydrogen and CCS, both are false technologies. Much research has shown is and supporteds by the UN that the technology is inefficient and unproven. Hydrogen is a false solution since 99% ( gray hydrogen) comes almost entirely from fossil fuels through steam methane reforming . It is a high emissons product. Only "green hydroogen" should be conisdered once technology is available. File Upload (i.e., Attachments): N/A
