Overview
We recommend project support to the Transportation Program at the Energy Foundation (San Francisco, CA) for work on the next round of vehicle efficiency standards in California. The past year has been a momentous one, with the federal government establishing new fuel efficiency standards for cars. These new national standards are based on regulations California established several years ago. As the federal government and California work together on designing the first set of joint standards, California regulators are pursuing the next round of state standards. These net set of standards (known commonly as Pavley Standards) will be a crucial input to the design of the national standard and any future standards set at the national level. We recommend support to the Energy Foundation to help ensure the technical underpinnings of the new California standards are as strong as possible. The next six months are the crucial time period to inform the state’s decision-making process.

Grants to this Grantee
for industry decarbonization roadmap and communications
This grant will help Energy Foundation strengthen its industry-related work in China, including improving its strategic communication components, as it continues to support decarbonization in China’s petrochemical and nonferrous metal sectors. (Substrategy: China National Policy)
for general operating support
This grant supports the Energy Foundation’s work to achieve greenhouse gas emissions neutrality, world-class air quality standards, energy access, and green growth in China. (Substrategy: Philanthropic Capacity)
for zero-emission road freight program
Energy Foundation’s Transportation Program will use this grant to advance zero-emission trucks. EF will support grantees in China to evaluate the performance of zero-emission trucks in inter-city operations in order to inform regulations that aim to electrify China’s trucks. This work is aligned with the Hewlett Foundation’s zero-emission road freight strategy. (Substrategy: Electrification)
