Harmonizing fuel programs between state, federal, and foreign jurisdictions is useful to ensure the optimum reduction of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. According to the 2010 Low Carbon Fuels Policy Document, proposed recommendations are to use 2005 as baseline for reductions and to require 10% reductions within 10 years of implementation.
