Illinois Environmental Protection Agency
Governor’s Global Warming Initiative
Illinois Environmental Protection Agency
Ron Burke, Associate Director
Adopted rules to significantly reduce power plant emissions beyond federal requirements; three units will close, reducing CO2 2.1 million tons/year
2006 law limits diesel idling in air quality non-attainment areas
Introduced Open Road tolling on Illinois Tollway System
Illinois Conservation and Climate Initiative creates forestry and agriculture carbon offsets
Co-founded The Climate Registry
Incentives and programs have made IL #1 consumer of biodiesel with 2nd most number of E-85 pumps
Energy Biosciences Institute at UIUC and Cal-Berkely; $500 million grant from BP
IL awarded FutureGen project 2 utility-scale winds farms operational; 15 proposed Adopted new energy efficiency building codes for
state and commercial buildings New law expands net metering for distributed
renewable electric generation 2007 Illinois Power Agency Act creates significant
renewable energy and energy efficiency requirements for utilities.
Illinois 2nd state to join Chicago Climate Exchange Committed to power state facilities in Springfield
with wind energy Buying mostly flex fuel and hybrid vehicles Reduce building energy use at least 10% in 10
years State buildings to install Energy Star lights New k-12 schools to achieve LEED Silver
certification Most new buildings funded by CDB constructed to
meet LEED standards
