Chair and Members of the California Air Resources Board,

As an early adopter of a fuel cell electric vehicle (I have a 2023
Toyota Mirai), it is imperative to fix California's Low-Carbon Fuel
Standard (LCFS). 

The LCFS has been one of the strongest carbon markets in the world,
driving significant private investment in achieving the carbon
intensity (CI) reductions in transportation fuels and leading the
way for more than a half dozen other states who are developing
similar programs.

The strength of this market signal was working and lowered hydrogen
prices to the $10-$12/kg range. Station developers were building
stations without public grant funding. However, post-pandemic the
LCFS market has ceased to support fuel cell electric vehicles and
hydrogen station development.

We must immediately fix the LCFS to drive investment to hydrogen
refueling stations which are necessary to achieve California's 2045
carbon neutrality goal. The expansion of infrastructure credits for
zero-emission vehicle charging and hydrogen refueling are
critically important to achieve California's zero emission vehicle
regulations and executive orders.

I urge you to support the adoption of the proposed changes to the
LCFS please!

Best Regards,

James Millington
