Renewable Fuels Compliance
Lifecycle analyses of emissions has become an increasingly important issue for all transportation fuel producers. With the strengthening and expansion of existing programs, such as the California Air Resource Board (CARB) Low Carbon Fuels Standard (LCFS), the Canadian Clean Fuels Standard and the European Union Renewable Energy Directive, and the promulgation of new legislation in Oregon, Washington, New Jersey, Colorado and many other states and countries, focus on reducing the carbon intensity of transportation fuel has only increased. Whether you are a current renewable fuels producer or a company looking for opportunities to enter this market, the complexity and variety of these programs can be difficult to navigate.
