arbcombo -- Low Carbon Fuel Standard (LCFS) Certified Ethanol Pathways Release

Posted: 09 May 2016 10:59:06
Today staff is releasing the first full set of carbon intensity
(CI) 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 ethanol pathways but similar batches will be
released for other fuel types in the future as detailed in
earlier workshop presentations.  

On April 22, 2016 staff sent each of the ethanol pathways (both
recertified and new) for review and acceptance by the individual
applicants.  Only those pathways accepted by applicants are being
certified and released today (May 9, 2016).  These certified
pathways may be used for credit reporting purposes beginning with
reports for the first 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.
