EIA: RENEWABLE DIESEL IS BEING USED TO MEET LOW-CARBON FUEL STANDARD IN CALIFORNIA

摘要

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 me second quarter of2018, or 10.1% ofthe total diesel supplied to California that quarter, reports the Energy Information Administration. The LCFS program, which is administered by the California Air Resources Board, sets standards to incrementally decrease the carbon intensity of motor gasoline and diesel fuel by at least 10% by 2020 relative to a 2010 baseline.
