arbcombo -- Low Carbon Fuel Standard (LCFS) Certified Renewable Natural Gas and Other Pathways Release
Posted: 30 Sep 2016 14:18:45
Today staff is releasing a set of carbon intensity (CI) pathways for renewable natural gas (RNG) and other pathways (which include hydrogen, renewable gasoline and renewable diesel) 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. Prior to this release, staff released two batches of RNG and other pathways for review and acceptance by individual applicants (September 2nd and September 15th, 2016). Only those pathways accepted by applicants are being certified and released today (September 30th, 2016). All pathways certified as part of this batch release may be used for credit reporting purposes beginning with reports for the third quarter of 2016. To access all certified CIs in one centralized location, including the newly released RNG and other 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.
