ARB posts six new LCFS pathway applications for comment; new PFAD biodiesel approach

Green Car Congress

The LCFS requires oil producers, importers and other fuel providers gradually to reduce, on a full-fuel lifecycle basis, the carbon intensity (CI) of their transportation fuel mix (measured in gCO 2 e/MJ) by from 0.25% in 2011 to 10% by 2020. The plant was originally fueled by coal but was converted to natural gas in 2010.

Toyota "Moves"

Plug In Partners

The technology would "conserve more oil and slice smog and greenhouse gases to nearly imperceptible levels ". Four years ago, the professor at the University of California at Davis and a team of engineering students created a plug-in vehicle. Frank's studies suggest a major impact on US oil dependence if most vehicles were plug-ins.
