arbcombo -- Low Carbon Fuel Standard (LCFS) Certified Biodiesel (BD)/Renewable Diesel (RD) Pathways Release
Posted: 30 Jun 2016 16:54:09
Today staff is releasing a set of carbon intensity (CI) pathways for BD and RD pathways certified under the readopted LCFS regulation using the CA-GREET 2.0 model. These pathways include both new applications and requests to have “legacy” pathways (adopted under the prior LCFS rule) recertified. All of the CIs released today are for BD and RD pathways. Similar batches will be released for the remaining fuel types in the future. Prior to this release, staff shared the BD/RD pathways for review and acceptance by the individual applicants on either June 3rd or June 17th, 2016. Only those pathways accepted by applicants are being certified and released today (June 30, 2016). Two new Tier 2 pathways are being released for public comments at http://www.arb.ca.gov/fuels/lcfs/fuelpathways/comments/tier2_comments.htm. After the comment closing period (10 days), staff will review submitted comments, request applicants to address any substantive issues related to these pathways and, if satisfactory, move to certify these pathways. All pathways certified as part of this batch release may be used for credit reporting purposes beginning with reports for the second quarter of 2016. To access all certified CIs in one centralized location, including the newly released BD/RD pathways see: http://www.arb.ca.gov/fuels/lcfs/fuelpathways/pathwaytable.htm. The list of certified CIs at the link above includes all CIs certified using CA-GREET 2.0 and all active pathway CIs certified under CA-GREET 1.8b. Note that the CA-GREET 1.8b pathways CIs are eligible to earn credits only through December 31, 2016 and will sunset after that date. Background on the LCFS The Low Carbon Fuel Standard is a regulation to reduce the carbon intensity of fuels sold in California ten percent by 2020. The LCFS is one of the measures adopted by the California Air Resources Board, pursuant to Health and Safety Code Sections 38500-38599 (AB 32) to reduce greenhouse gases in California. It is designed to help clean the air, protect the environment, and drive the development of clean, low-carbon fuels to improve California's energy security and energy independence.
