The California Air Resources Board (CARB) voted to extend the Low Carbon Fuel Standard ( LCFS ) by ten years to 2030 and to double the program’s carbon intensity reductions target from 10 to 20 percent. Under the LCFS, petroleum refineries and fuel importers must gradually reduce the average carbon intensity of the fuels they sell.
