California’s Low Carbon Fuel Standard (LCFS) has supported an innovative revolution in alternative fuels. The LCFS regulation steadily drives down the carbon intensity of transportation fuels sold in California, resulting in cleaner fuels. If a fuel has a carbon intensity above that baseline it generates a deficit for the producer.
