California Air Resources Board (ARB) staff posted 32 new Low Carbon Fuel Standard (LCFS) fuel pathway applications for comments at the LCFS website. The LCFS is a regulation to reduce the carbon intensity (CI) of fuels sold in California by 10% by 2020. If a product is above the annual carbon intensity target, the fuel incurs deficits.

During the late innings of the ICE-age (as in the Internal Combustion Engine age) it has become clear that feeding gasoline and diesel to the next billion new cars is not going to be easy, or cheap. However, building more coal and gas power plants to make miles for transport is counter-productive if the game plan is to reduce carbon output.
