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. Treat all crude oils as part of the overall pool of transportation fuels. They would do so by documenting their lower emissions. We are not advocates.

Hydraulic fracturing (“fracking”) extracts natural gas by injecting a mixture of water, sand, and chemicals in short bursts at high pressure into deep underground wells. CCS, due to the large net volumes of injected fluids, may have potential for inducing larger seismic events. —“Induced Seismicity Potential in Energy Technologies”.
