What Makes the California LCFS Program so Important?

 Energy developers, station owners, and fleets, many of these people have heard about the California Low Carbon Fuel Standard (LCFS). But with all its complexity, this program can be hard to navigate. A Low Carbon Fuel Standard (LCFS) the program requires gasoline, diesel refiners as well as importers to buy credits in order to continue doing business in the state, making the LCFS program so important.

The Low Carbon Fuel Standard is a market-based program concentrating particularly on lessening the carbon intensity (CI) of fuels utilized within California. Founded in 2011 by the California Air Resources Board (CARB) as part of several AB32 steps, its goal is to lessen greenhouse gas emissions in the state by 20% until 2030 and 80% until 2050.

Air Quality Improvements

California is home to some of the most questionable air conditions in the world, mainly generated because of vehicle emissions. The LCFS signifies a sharp turning point in addressing the air quality of California, because of its fast and long-term environmental objectives. This program has definitely helped in reducing greenhouse gas emissions over time, so as a result of it the quality of air has improved in the regions where it is needed the most. 

Clean Fuel Development as well as Adoption

LCFS credit values have driven new interest in clean fuel development, whether it is job creation as well as financial growth. Agricultural facilities, landfills, and wastewater processing plants are now able to convert their waste into a profitable product, therefore limiting methane which if released into the atmosphere can impact the quality of the air badly. 

If there is more clean production of fuel, then it can turn into greater supply, making fleets consider a shift from diesel. With a couple of increased supplies by a portion of the California Low Carbon Fuel Standard credit value, California fleets usually retain and the incentive for fleets for making the shift to clean fuel escalates, contributing to the positive environmental impact.
