The governor’s office released three reports on environmental actions taken by the state touting successes and progress on reducing greenhouse gas emissions.

The reports include the biannual progress report on Gov. Jared Polis’ Greenhouse Gas Pollution Reduction Roadmap; a new statewide greenhouse gas inventory, which updates the list of sources that may be regulated; and a legislative report that summarizes 2023 efforts and give recommendations for future actions to reduce pollution.

The news release says Colorado is “84% of the way toward achieving its 2030 greenhouse gas emissions reduction goal” and identifies additional actions “that would take the state to 94% of the goal.”

“These reports show both Colorado’s commitment to cutting greenhouse gas pollution and the progress we’ve made and will continue to make to help our state today and for future generations to come,” said Polis in the release. “We are doubling down on comprehensive plans that we’ve already set in motion and creating new innovative ways to make our state a healthier place for Coloradans for today and for the next generation.”

The reports are intended to better inform Coloradans on the state of pollution control regulations, according to the release.

They also set out a new three-year plan of near-term priorities “to bring the state closer to its climate goals.”

Highlights include:

• $17 million grant for 188 EV fast chargers at 36 locations
• Statewide rebate program for E-bikes purchases for low – and moderate-income Coloradans
• New grant program to fund local governments to create E-bike rebate programs.
• A “first-of-its-kind” regulation requiring 10 large manufacturers to reduce air pollution in nearby communities
• Rule demanding that 82% of all new light duty vehicles sold in Colorado be electric by model year 2032
• $1.2 million in grants for “just transition” to communities affected by closure of coal power plants and coal mines
• A claim that Colorado has achieved 84% of its mandated 50% 2030 greenhouse gas reduction target
• Submitted required report to the General Assembly that “provides policy and legislative recommendations to help Colorado achieve future greenhouse gas reduction targets”
