The California Air Resources Board (CARB) is soliciting feedback on dairy and livestock sector methane emissions to inform their work toward reaching short-lived climate pollutant reduction targets set by Senate Bill 1383 in 2016. SB 1383 established reduction targets for the dairy and livestock sector of 40 percent below 2013 levels by 2030. The Board Resolution attached to implementing SB 1383 directs CARB staff to prepare a plan for initiating, developing, proposing, and implementing a livestock methane regulation.
The solicitation seeks public input and information on evaluating methane emissions data, methane mitigation strategies, and potential regulatory approaches for the dairy and livestock sector. Public comments will be accepted through March 30, 2026.
