Public policy
Federal Government (Executive Order): President Joe Biden signed an executive order on December 8, 2021, calling for the federal government to generate zero emissions by 2050.
Among other things, the order sets the following goals around federal procurement, construction, and operations:
- 100% of the federal government鈥檚 new vehicles must be zero-emission by 2035.
- All new light-duty vehicles must be zero-emission by 2027.
- 65% reduction in greenhouse gas emissions from federal operations by 2030 from 2008 levels
- 100% carbon-free electricity by 2030 (on a net annual basis); 50% must be聽24/7 carbon-free electricity
- Net-zero emissions buildings by 2045
- Net-zero emissions from federal procurement
State of Oregon Greenhouse Gas Emissions Reductions Goals (Oregon Legislature)
- HB 3543 (2007): Arrests Greenhouse Gas emissions growth. Goals include reducing 10% below 1990 emissions levels by 2020 and 75% below 1990 levels by 2050.
