| September 9, 2025 1:00 P.M. | Building Embodied Carbon Baseline Technical Meeting The California Air Resources Board (CARB) staff invites you to participate in a public meeting as part of CARB’s work on developing an embodied carbon reporting regulation pursuant to Assembly Bill 2446 (Holden) and Assembly Bill 43 (Holden). At this meeting, participants will discuss in detail the methodology used to estimate the 2026 point-in-time baseline for California’s greenhouse gas emissions from the building sector. This meeting will be a collaborative discussion among CARB program staff and external parties from academia, industry, and nonprofits. Interested parties, outside experts, and members of the public are invited to attend either in-person or online via Zoom. | Agenda |
March 13, 2025 | Reporting and Baseline Options for Building Embodied Carbon The California Air Resources Board (CARB) staff invite you to participate in a virtual public workshop to provide input on CARB’s development of a framework for measuring and reducing the greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions from building materials used in California. At this workshop, staff will review the statutory requirements for manufacturer and project-level data reporting and baseline emissions quantification, and introduce staff concepts for reporting, baseline estimation, and emissions accounting. This workshop is one of a series of workshops and focused meetings with interested parties that CARB will be hosting to inform the rulemaking process related to embodied carbon. Public feedback from this workshop will be used to develop and refine staff proposals. | |
September 19, 2024 | Kick-off Workshop on Building Embodied Carbon The California Air Resources Board (CARB) staff invite you to participate in a virtual public workshop to provide input on CARB’s development of a framework for measuring and then reducing the net greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions from building materials that are used in the State of California. At this workshop, staff will introduce the public to building embodied carbon concepts, consult with the public about key topics in developing the framework, including the structure of a potential reporting system for building material embodied carbon, and discuss the public engagement process moving forward. This workshop is the first in a series of workshops and focused meetings with interested parties that CARB will be hosting to inform the rulemaking process related to embodied carbon. |
