Very broadly, they found that an LCFS would buffer the economy against global oil price spikes, trim demand for petroleum, and lessen upward pressure on gas prices. Oil sands production induces small LUCs associated with soil and forest carbon emissions from peatland conversion. Harmonize global LCFS policies.
