Staff received substantial feedback on the proposed LCFS regulatory amendment package released December 19, 2023, and is hosting this workshop to discuss potential refinements to the proposed regulatory amendments, including potential re-evaluation of the proposed carbon intensity benchmarks, and more consideration of the proposed sustainability guardrails. Stakeholders may provide additional feedback in writing following the workshop to a dedicated workshop docket.
Date: April 10, 2024 Time: 9:00 AM to 4:00 PM Location: CalEPA Headquarters (1001 I Street, Sacramento CA), Coastal Hearing Room, and virtual on zoom. Register for virtual attendance at the link below.
Background
The Low Carbon Fuel Standard (LCFS) is a key part of a comprehensive set of programs in California to cut GHG emissions and other smog-forming and toxic air pollutants by improving vehicle technology, reducing fuel consumption, and increasing transportation mobility options. The LCFS is designed to decrease the carbon intensity of California's transportation fuel pool and provide an increasing range of low-carbon and renewable alternatives, which reduce petroleum dependency and achieve air quality benefits.
