What's New List Serve Post Display

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.
