They fell 23% from a peak of 14 metric tons per person (roughly equal to driving 34,000 miles) in 2001 to 10.8 metric tons per person in 2016 (roughly equal to driving 26,000 miles). This ambitious target will require California to more than double the rate at which it has been cutting climate-changing gases.

The overarching goal of the LCA study is to assess which mode of natural gas-based personal passenger mobility offers the most compelling future environmental benefits, as both the civil power infrastructure and the transportation sector undergo a greening transition from coal and petroleum respectively to natural gas.
