What's New List Serve Post Display

Today staff is releasing a set of carbon intensity (CI) of
Renewable Natural Gas (RNG) 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 the first batch
of RNG pathways.  A second batch will be released in
mid-September 2016.  

Applicants of RNG pathways have seven business days (11:59 P.M.
on 09/14/16) to review and accept the CI.  If they choose to
accept the CI, they shall upload a copy of the attestation letter
to the Alternative Fuels Portal
(https://www.arb.ca.gov/fuels/lcfs/reportingtool/datamanagementsystem.htm#afp)
and mail an original copy to the address provided in the
recertification guidance document
(https://www.arb.ca.gov/fuels/lcfs/fuelpathways/legacy-11052015.pdf).
 Only pathways accepted by applicants will be certified.  These
certified pathways may be used for credit reporting purposes
beginning with reports for the third quarter of 2016.

To enable applicants and regulated parties to access all
certified CIs in one centralized location staff is posting a list
which includes all CIs certified using CA-GREET 2.0 and all
active pathway CIs certified under CA-GREET 1.8b.  The list is
available at:
http://www.arb.ca.gov/fuels/lcfs/fuelpathways/pathwaytable.htm. 
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.
