Clean Fuel Standards, sometimes referred to as Low Carbon Fuel Standards, are market-based regulatory programs set up by state, provincial, or federal agencies to incentivize the use of low-carbon fuels, such as electricity and hydrogen, among others. They're meant to help you buy down the cost of electricity or hydrogen, incentivizing fleets to utilize more low-carbon fuel vehicles and equipment.
Active Clean Fuel Programs
California's Low Carbon Fuel Standard (LCFS)
The California Air Resources Board (CARB) implemented the Low Carbon Fuel Standard (LCFS) in 2011 to decrease the carbon intensity of transportation fuels in California and promote low-carbon and renewable alternatives, reducing petroleum dependency and improving air quality.
The Oregon Clean Fuels Program, overseen by the Oregon Department of Environmental Quality (DEQ), is a forward-thinking initiative designed to reduce greenhouse gas emissions from the transportation sector. Implemented in 2016, this program encourages sustainable alternatives to conventional transportation fuels. .
Washington's Clean Fuel Standard, launched in January 2023 and overseen by the Washington State Department of Ecology (ECY), is a landmark policy aimed at reducing carbon emissions from the transportation sector. By setting progressively stricter limits on the carbon intensity of transportation fuels, this initiative encourages the adoption of cleaner alternatives and fosters innovation in the renewable energy sector.
British Columbia's Low Carbon Fuel Standard (LCFS)
British Columbia's Low Carbon Fuel Standard (LCFS) is a pioneering policy that aims to mitigate greenhouse gas emissions from the transportation sector. Launched as part of the province's comprehensive climate action plan, the LCFS requires fuel suppliers to progressively decrease the carbon intensity of their products, incentivizing the adoption of cleaner fuels and renewable alternatives.
Canada's Clean Fuel Regulations is part of Canada's broader climate action plan, these regulations mandate a gradual decrease in the carbon intensity of transportation fuels, encouraging the adoption of low-carbon and renewable alternatives. By promoting innovation and sustainable practices in the fuel industry, the Clean Fuel Regulations play a crucial role in Canada's commitment to combat climate change and transition towards a greener and more sustainable economy.
