For example, provisions are made such that electricity providers for plug-in vehicles as well as hydrogen fuel providers for hydrogen vehicles may generate credits under the LCFS which can be sold to regulated parties. Both options will be associated with high LCFS credit prices. In many respects, the LCFS is a first-of-its-kind regulation.
