Harmonizing Low Carbon Fuel Standards

Green Car Congress

NOVEMBER 21, 2011

—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.

Study suggests high-mileage light-duty fleets contribute higher emissions and emissions share than expected

Green Car Congress

MAY 4, 2016

For example, recent on-road emission measurements in California and other locations have shown that the 99 th percentile is responsible for more than a third of the carbon monoxide (CO) and hydrocarbon (HC) emissions and more than 15% of the nitric oxide (NO) emissions on a fuel-specific basis, and these imbalances continue to grow each year.
