1. Short title This Act may be cited as the SUper Pollutant Emissions Reduction Act of 2017 or the SUPER Act of 2017 . 2. Findings and purpose (a) Findings Congress makes the following findings: (1) Carbon dioxide emissions are estimated to account for 40 to 45 percent of anthropogenic radiative forcing (or manmade global warming), while the remainder is driven by non-carbon dioxide climate pollutants, primarily short-lived climate pollutants. These short-lived climate pollutants, or super pollutants , have shorter atmospheric lifespans than carbon dioxide, but cause about 25 to 2000 times more warming per ton over a 25- to 100-year period, and in many cases the emissions are growing much faster than carbon dioxide. (2) Several of the short-lived climate pollutants are also potent air pollutants that harm human health and reduce crop yields. Reducing these pollutants can save thousands of lives every year in the United States and prevent millions of premature deaths from air pollution worldwide, while also increasing agricultural production. (3) International efforts to address short-lived climate pollutants are underway, including the Climate and Clean Air Coalition to Reduce Short-Lived Climate Pollutants, led by the Department of State and the United Nations Environment Programme, the Global Methane Initiative, and the recently finalized Kigali Amendment to the Montreal Protocol on Substances that Deplete the Ozone Layer. The Kigali Amendment, agreed to by 197 countries in October 2016, could mitigate 80 billion metric tons of carbon dioxide equivalent emissions by 2050, avoiding up to 0.5°C warming by the end of the century. (4) Many of the technologies to reduce short-lived climate pollutants already exist, but in some cases, adoption of such technologies has been slow. Most alternatives to the super pollutant HFCs are invented and produced by American companies and many American companies that previously used super pollutants are introducing alternatives in domestic and export markets.
