IMPROVING AIR QUALITY:

PRCC’s work directly impacts the ambient air quality of western Pennsylvania. On an annual basis, we track how the use of alternative fuels and other clean fuel strategies result in the reduction of greenhouse gases and specific criteria pollutants. 

 

Criteria pollutants are chemicals that have been linked to human health effects and are therefore regulated in the Clean Air Act of 1970. Criteria pollutants include nitrogen oxides (NOx) and volatile organic compounds (VOC), both precursors to ozone pollution or smog. They also include particulate matter (PM) grouped into 10 and 2.5 micron sizes. Criteria pollutants are quantified at vehicle tailpipes, as those are the emissions contributing to the regulated "ambient" air quality of a given city.

 

The graphs below summarize our reduction results for calendar year 2025:

​INFLUENCING THE BUILD-OUT OF INFRASTRUCTURE:

In collaboration with state, regional and local partners, PRCC plays a leadership role in the development of new alternative fueling infrastructure, including electric vehicle charging stations.  Our role is to build the project teams that can make a difference and to support their grant writing efforts to get projects funded.
