EIA: Renewable diesel increasingly used to meet California’s Low Carbon Fuel Standard; 10.1% of total diesel supplied in 2Q18

Green Car Congress

NOVEMBER 15, 2018

Renewable diesel net supply to California’s fuel market has increased since the state’s Low Carbon Fuel Standard (LCFS) program went into effect in 2011, reaching 100 million gallons during the second quarter of 2018, or 10.1% of the total diesel supplied to California that quarter, according to the US Energy Information Administration (EIA).

Both LBNL and ERI’s 2050 scenarios show that China will likely surpass Portugal’s current level of per capita GDP, but its GDP will still remain below more developed countries like Singapore, US, and Japan. Most of the increase in crude oil demand is driven by a burgeoning transport sector with a growing share of oil demand.
