—Low Carbon Fuel Standard 2011 Program Review Report. The California LCFS regulation, which went in to effect on 15 April 2010, targets a reduction of the carbon intensity (CI), on a full-fuel lifecycle basis, of transportation fuels (measured in gCO 2 e/MJ) used in California by an average of 10% by the year 2020.

International marine transportation emissions are estimated to grow by 1 to 2% per year, increasing by at least 50% over 2007 levels by 2050. Aircraft and marine vessels could be powered by low-carbon biofuels or perhaps even hydrogen. Marine vessels could also benefit from switching to lower-carbon, conventional fossil fuels (e.g.,

The study is part of a larger program conducted by ARB in conjunction with UC Riverside, UC Davis and others to develop diesel formulations with higher levels of renewable biofuels. In California, biodiesel use accounted for 86% of the alternative fuels consumed by the state fleet in 2010. Earlier post.). —Hajbabaei et al.
