2006, 2016 and Cleaner

Cleaner fuels have replaced more than 3B gallons of diesel under California Low Carbon Fuel Standard

MAY 17, 2019

New 2018 data from the California Air Resources Board (CARB) indicates that the state’s Low Carbon Fuel Standard (LCFS) continues to drive production of a growing volume of cleaner transportation fuels for California consumers. California reached that overall goal in 2016. To date almost 3.3 That equals an over-compliance of 8.7

The California Air Resources Board (CARB) announced that greenhouse gas emissions in California in 2016 fell below 1990 levels for the first time since emissions peaked in 2004—a reduction roughly equivalent to taking 12 million cars off the road or saving 6 billion gallons of gasoline a year.

This level is still below the state’s first climate milestone (2020’s AB 32 goal, met four years early in 2016) of reducing to 431 MMTCO 2 e below 1990 levels. This is plausibly due to bus fleets becoming cleaner or electrified.
