Are pollution reductions achieved under Smog Check sold to big industry?

0

Emissions reductions achieved as a result of the Smog Check program are not eligible for use as mobile source emission reduction credits and cannot be used as offsets for industrial sources of pollution. This is because those emission reductions are required by, and properly attributed to, the Smog Check program, and therefore do not qualify as “surplus” pollution reductions available for trade. Smog Check emissions reductions are required by federal and state law and are an important part of California’s overall effort to achieve healthier air.
