Publication Notes
California’s Low Carbon Fuel Standard (LCFS) specifies that the state’s transportation fuel supply achieve a 20% reduction in carbon intensity (CI) below 2011 levels by 2030. Reaching the standard will require substantive changes in the fuel mix, but the specifics and the cost of these changes are uncertain. The report assesses if and how California is likely to achieve the standard, and the likely impact of infrastructure credits on this compliance outlook.
