Special Issue: What to Expect during the Trump II Presidency

(American Energy Society/Energy Matters)  From experience, we all know that when Donald Trump is president, nothing is certain. It is hard to predict how the energy sector will change, both domestically or around the world. This special issue of Energy Matters looks at past policies, recent campaign rhetoric, and what aides and analysts are saying to project what energy and the environment looks like during the next presidential administration.

- O&G production: President Trump has made it clear that he will support "drill baby, drill." However, oil majors have hit their maximum target output in the Permian and will not increase production at the risk of a lower price point. In other words, the Trump II presidency will not affect oil markets because the current market price of ~$80/barrel is ideal ... for the super majors that are drilling in the Permian. (Note: The Permian Basin boasts some of the lowest break-even prices in the world, typically below $50 per barrel for existing wells, while break-even for NOCs, including Saudi Arabia, is about $96/barrel. The market is exactly where the oil majors want it to be.)

- O&G emissions: The Trump II White House will relax regulations on flaring and leaks from O&G facilities.

- LNG: The current pause on LNG export permits will be lifted.

- H2: Grey hydrogen will get support; for instance, IRA hydrogen tax credits will be rewritten to benefit producers making hydrogen from fossil fuel. (Meanwhile, green and blue hydrogen will need to find a competitive price-point or else these sectors will stall.)
...

- Nuclear: SMRs will get more support than large nuclear (which will face quiet opposition from natural gas). Deployment of SMRs will probably happen first in Virginia, where more data centers are being built faster than any other region in the US.
- Critical minerals/metals: Mining in the US will get support through new federal leases and relaxed regulations.
- Solar and wind: There will be talk about ending wind and solar tax credits but not a lot of action. (Much like the way the Trump I White House avoided ethanol/RFS, there is too much support for wind and solar in the Midwest states to cut the credits entirely.)

- OSW: Permits for offshore wind will be withheld, especially in blue-state coastal regions (similar to the way President Biden paused permits for LNG).

...

- Taxes: There will be no extraordinary taxes on energy-intensive goods, but Trump II will propose a carbon tax on Chinese imports.
- Carbon: Federal efforts to assess the impact of carbon pollution (aka "the social cost of carbon") will be abandoned.
- Downsizing government: The Office of Clean Energy will be cut and the scope and scale of the EPA will be reduced.

- In the "hot" seat: California. The White House will attempt to revoke California's authority to set stricter air regulations than other states. Buckle up, this issue is destined for the courts because California will not back down.

...

- Disclosures: Large companies will not be asked (by the SEC) to disclose their risks to climate change.

- FEMA: Related to "hot seat" in the Policy section above, California will have a difficult time getting relief funding from FEMA if there is a natural disaster. 
- CB: Virtually all federal climate justice initiatives will be cut, especially programs that are directed to support disadvantaged communities (Community Benefit programs, or "CBs"). The federal government will not support energy sovereignty on Tribal lands.

...

- EVs: EV tax credits will be limited and possibly abolished.
- LPO: Guaranteed loans will be frozen, or possibly redirected to sectors that strengthen energy independence/"dominance".  READ MORE

Excerpt form Engine Technology Forum:  Renewal of our Renewable Fuels Policy? Reducing carbon emissions can be accomplished in many ways; not just by electrification. The EPA’s tailpipe only emissions policy ignores the life cycle emissions policy that would lead to more practical options by boosting advanced renewable biofuels. EPA’s unwillingness to embrace a growth-oriented renewable fuels policy has failed everyone up and down the supply chain. Will the new Trump administration embrace domestically produced low carbon fuels and follow suit with supportive policies? Let’s hope so.

Renewable fuel producers and petroleum interests have often been at odds debating domestic energy policy. Finding some common ground would go a long way to helping ensure both futures for more traditional fuels and more renewable fuels. It should not be an either-or proposition. Renewable fuels are key to a sustainable future for all internal combustion engines.

Start your engines for new Auto and Commercial Truck Emission Policy. The Biden Administration implemented its climate policy by prescribing automotive and heavy-duty truck emissions policies that follow a similar approach: Adopt aggressive rules with challenging deadlines that push electrification, find out that charging infrastructure is lagging and car and truck buyers aren’t buying it as projected, compliance deadlines and costly penalties loom for all, and manufacturers’ planning and investments are upended. And, as we are now learning, sales of traditional combustion vehicles sustain all.

Automotive Policy: something’s got to give. Automakers are facing a multitude of challenges as they witness what happens when policy mandates run into market realities. Aggressive emission standards adopted by President Biden in March require automakers to produce fewer gasoline powered cars and more electric vehicles. Many factors (inflation, access to charging infrastructure) all contributed to a weaker-than-expected EV market that is expected to reach 9-10% of all new vehicle sales this year. This is substantially off pace to achieve President Biden’s goal of 50% of all new vehicle sales being EVs by 2030.

Add to all of that pressure California’s influence that will phase out the sale of gasoline powered vehicles in that state by 2035 conceivably followed by the dozen or so states that are following California. Together these states make up about 40% of the nation’s car market.

Along comes President Trump who has pledged to “eliminate the EV mandate on day 1.” But what does that mean? There is not an EV mandate per se, but rather the stringency of the light-duty car fleet emissions rules effectively forces manufacturers to sell more EVs or hold back on their gasoline vehicle sales. Adding to the uncertainty is the relationship of President-elect Trump and Tesla founder Elon Musk, who has the majority of the EV market in the country. Will Trump end the $7,500 tax credit on EVs that runs until 2032? How will California and its follower states respond to a new automotive policy? How will litigation outcomes impact policies going forward (23 states have challenged EPA’s Heavy Duty truck rules; 15 states are suing California for its truck rules)?

Rescinding or substantially modifying the most recently adopted light duty multi-pollutant rules that the EPA issued earlier in March to ease emissions standards seems to be a likely point of action in the new Administration. With the slowdown on EV adoption currently underway coupled with the new Trump Administration’s likely views on EVs, manufacturers will continue to be sustained by solid sales of their traditional combustion (gas, diesel) vehicles, and improvements in these traditional vehicles and introduce more hybrid technologies. Automakers have substantial investments and their own corporate commitments in zero emissions technology and battery manufacturing and charging infrastructure. These aren’t going away.

Trucking Policy: Something’s got to give here too. Truckers are hopeful that deregulatory and economic boosting policies in the Trump Administration help lift the trucking sector out of the depressed freight market. And it will be just in time as the industry faces a slew of new emissions rules and greenhouse gas reduction requirements from California and the EPA for new vehicles and future fuels.

The EPA’s new greenhouse gas rules for heavy-duty trucks (“Phase 3”) adopted in March effectively dictate starting in 2027 an increasing percentage of fleet sales be zero emissions technology, tied to the sale of conventional diesel and natural gas trucks.

California’s adoption of the Advanced Clean Truck Rule (ACT) and the Advanced Clean Fleets Rule (ACF) together respectively compel manufacturers to produce and sell and fleets to buy zero emissions technology in increasing percentages, which began this year in California. Ten other states have adopted the ACT rule, and nine states are on board with California’s more stringent emissions standards for nitrogen oxides rule. Some reports from California have suggested that already 10-months into the first year of the ACT rule, fleets can’t get the diesel trucks they want to order because of the rules limiting manufacturers from offering them.

And if this is not enough, the industry must make equipment acquisition decisions in 2025 and 2026 in advance of a new EPA emission rule that takes effect in 2027. In previous years facing an emissions milestone, major pre-buys of new equipment occurred in the preceding years, muting any environmental benefit from the new generation of even nearer-to-zero emissions levels.

More so than the auto sector, the commercial trucking industry transition to zero emissions technology is far more challenging. Thanks to the smaller size of the industry overall, the significantly higher infrastructure demands, costs of new equipment in general and zero emissions technology in particular, truckers are making business not emotional decisions. The growing number of state policies impacting vehicle purchase type and use are ultimately hampering both manufacturers and truckers; but can there be a resolution for all?

Truck OEMs, like automakers, have many investments and commitments at stake. They are producing an increasing range of fuel-efficient conventional engines and zero emissions technology for their customers. They too have taken on responsibility to help build out a nationwide heavy-duty truck electric charging infrastructure. These will succeed at some level in the marketplace as one of many options available.  READ MORE

Trump Picks Ex-congressman Zeldin to Run Environmental Protection Agency

by Timothy Gardner and David Shepardson (Reuters)  Zeldin voted against Biden's climate change law; Opposed NY goal to ban gasoline-powered cars by 2035; In Congress, Zeldin backed environmental bills 14% of the time  --   U.S. President-elect Donald Trump said on Monday he will appoint Republican former Congressman Lee Zeldin, who often voted against legislation on green issues including a measure to stop oil companies from price gouging, to head the Environmental Protection Agency.

...

Trump, a Republican, will likely look to reverse many rules administered by the EPA on the burning of fossil fuels including one curbing carbon emissions from power plants and another slashing such emissions from vehicles.

Trump has said he plans to begin rescinding EPA and Transportation Department vehicle pollution rules on his first day in office and is considering paring back or eliminating EV tax breaks and other incentives.

...

Trump also plans to rescind California's ability to set its own vehicle emissions rules, as he did in 2019.

President Joe Biden, a Democrat, reinstated California's authority. Trump will also decide how to spend billions of dollars in EV charging grants.

As a candidate for New York governor in the 2022 election, Zeldin criticized the state's decision to join California's Zero Emission Vehicle program that vows to end the sale of gasoline-powered only vehicles by 2035.  READ MORE

Excerpt from CNN:  One of Zeldin’s first tasks will likely be starting the process to overturn several of the Biden EPA’s biggest rules on climate, including tailpipe regulations for vehicles and rules aimed at slashing pollution from power plants and oil and gas producers.

Zeldin most recently chaired the China policy initiative at the America First Policy Institute, a nonprofit think tank founded to promote Trump’s agenda, where he had written on national security threats posed by China.

Zeldin on Monday told Fox News that he will pull back “left-wing” regulations and focus on “unleashing economic prosperity” through the agency.

“President Trump, when he called me up, gosh, he was rattling off 15, 20 different priorities, a clear focus. He wasn’t reading off of some sheet, it’s the top of his head. And if I challenged him to give me 50 more ideas of what to do with this agency to improve the economy, I’m confident he would have done that,” Zeldin said shortly after the announcement was made.  READ MORE

 

Excerpt from Washington Post: “Lee, with a very strong legal background, has been a true fighter for America First policies,” Trump said in a statement Monday. “He will ensure fair and swift deregulatory decisions that will be enacted in a way to unleash the power of American businesses, while at the same time maintaining the highest environmental standards.”

Zeldin, 44, served four terms representing Long Island before losing the New York governor’s race to Democratic rival Kathy Hochul in 2022. A lawyer by trade, he lacks an extensive background in environmental policy.

...

During the race for governor, Zeldin criticized many of Hochul’s climate and energy policies. He called for reversing a ban on fracking in New York, and he described her policies pushing for the adoption of electric cars and electric heating “out of touch.”  READ MORE

CARB Updates the Low Carbon Fuel Standard to Increase Access to Cleaner Fuels and Zero-Emission Transportation 0ptions

(California Air Resources Board)  The approved program amendments will catalyze private sector investment in decarbonizing California’s transportation sector to support climate action and cleaner air. -- The California Air Resources Board today approved updates to the Low Carbon Fuel Standard (LCFS) that channel global, national and local private sector investment towards increasing cleaner fuel and transportation options for consumers, accelerating the deployment of zero-emission infrastructure, and keeping the state on track to meet legislatively mandated air quality and climate targets.

The LCFS reduces air pollution and greenhouse gas emissions by setting a declining carbon intensity target for transportation fuels used in California; producers that don’t meet established benchmarks buy credits from those that do. This system has generated $4 billion in annual private sector investment toward a cleaner transportation sector. These investments provide multiple economic benefits to Californian consumers, including:

  • Increasing consumer choices, which drives transportation fuel price competition
  • Growing new industries and attracting investments that support jobs and strengthen communities 
  • Reducing dependence on petroleum and the oil industry, thereby protecting consumers from its associated supply and cost volatility
  • Making electric vehicles more affordable
  • Expanding access to electric vehicle charging and hydrogen refueling infrastructure
  • Reducing the health impacts and health care costs associated with air pollution from fossil fuels

The updates set targets to reduce the carbon intensity of California’s transportation fuel pool by 30% by 2030 and by 90% by 2045. The amendments also increase support for zero-emissions infrastructure, including for medium- and heavy-duty vehicles, and make more transit agencies eligible to generate credits.

The LCFS has been very effective to date, reducing the carbon intensity of California’s fuel mix by almost 13% and displacing 70% of the diesel used in the state with cleaner alternatives. This has displaced 320 million metric tons CO2 of gasoline and diesel emissions since the Program’s inception. That’s an amount equivalent 85% of today’s annual statewide greenhouse gas emissions. The growth in the use of renewable fuel is powering needed emissions reductions in the transportation sector.

“The proposal approved today strikes a balance between reducing the environmental and health impacts of transportation fuel used in California and ensuring that low-carbon options are available as the state continues to work toward a zero-emissions future,” said “Today’s approval increases consumer options beyond petroleum, provides a roadmap for cleaner air, and leverages private sector investment and federal incentives to spur innovation to address climate change and pollution.”

The LCFS is designed to provide the most cost-effective path to support clean fuels and infrastructure. Affordability remains a key consideration for the Board, and it has directed staff to assess any impacts and potential mitigation from today’s adopted amendments on retail gasoline prices every six months and to submit an annual report beginning one year from the effective date of these amendments, and to collaborate with the California Energy Commission in that effort. The program currently limits the pass-through costs companies can shift to consumers by capping the price of credits that high-carbon-intensity fuel producing entities are required to purchase for compliance and allowing banking of credits bought at lower prices. Data from third party commodities markets experts shows the current LCFS pass through to California consumers is $0.10 per gallon of gasoline. This is consistent with the self-reported data by high-carbon-intensity fuel producers, which reflects an LCFS cost pass through to consumers of $0.08 to $0.10 per gallon of gasoline.

Supporting Californians

  • Making electric vehicles more affordable: “The LCFS has also provided hundreds of millions of dollars of beneficial credits and incentives supporting the build-out of EV charging infrastructure and vehicle rebates which lower the upfront costs for drivers,” said a representative from MN8 Energy, which produces renewable energy, in a letter submitted to CARB.
  • Expanding access to charging infrastructure: As of October 10, 2024, there have been a total of 71 hydrogen stations and 749 fast EV charger sites approved under the Hydrogen Refueling Infrastructure (HRI) and (Fast Charging Infrastructure) FCI provisions of LCFS, respectively.
  • Reducing health care costs associated with pollution from dirty fuels: CARB estimates $5 billion in savings from avoided health outcomes between 2024 and 2046.
  • Increasing consumer choices, which drives price competition: “By using market-based policies that ensure the best ideas succeed, we can also maximize impact by marshaling private capital to invest in climate solutions. Fortunately, California already has an excellent example of this kind of approach in the Low Carbon Fuel Standard (LCFS).”
  • Reducing dependence on the oil industry, thereby protecting consumers from its associated supply and cost volatility: The LCFS has displaced more than 30 billion gallons of petroleum fuel.

The LCFS sends long-term market signals to phase out combustion fuels and increase zero emission fuels and transportation options. The LCFS updates adopted by the Board were developed after a rigorous, years-long public rulemaking process that incorporated feedback received from interested parties. Updates include:

  • Providing billions of additional dollars to fund zero-emission vehicle charging and hydrogen fueling infrastructure, including new crediting opportunities for medium - and heavy-duty refueling infrastructure, to support implementation of California’s zero emission vehicle regulations.
  • Increasing incentives for infrastructure in low-income neighborhoods and remote locations and ensuring that historically underserved communities receive needed investment to reduce emissions and provide equitable access to a clean air future.
  • Phasing out avoided methane crediting associated with the use of biomethane used as a combustion fuel, but extending the use of biomethane for renewable hydrogen to align with goals outlined in the 2022 Scoping Plan – the state’s plan for reducing climate-warming emissions and reaching carbon neutrality.

Updated guardrails

The LCFS updates also include new guardrails to avoid land use changes resulting in potential loss of food production or deforestation. The majority of biomass-based diesel and sustainable aviation fuel in the LCFS has historically come from waste feedstocks, such as used cooking oil, animal fat and inedible distiller’s corn oil. To minimize potential land use issues, the program will require fuel producers track crop-based and forestry-based feedstocks to their point of origin. The LCFS will also require independent feedstock certification to ensure biomass-based diesel and sustainable aviation fuel feedstocks are not undermining natural carbon stocks. Palm-derived fuels are also explicitly prohibited from receiving credits.

Californians will benefit from these program updates in numerous ways, including:

  • As consumers increase their use of low carbon intensity fuels and more efficient vehicles, fuel costs per mile will be reduced by 42 percent - translating to savings of over $20 billion in fuel expenditures every year by 2045. For light-duty vehicles (cars, pickup trucks, sport utility vehicles, vans, and minivans) these fuel cost savings will be even more pronounced, cutting today’s costs to Californians by more than 50 percent.
  • The amount of LCFS proceeds invested in disadvantaged communities for clean fuel and transportation projects is estimated to be approximately $4.8 billion in the next decade.
  • Californians are expected to save almost $5 billion in health care costs by avoiding the impacts of air pollution.
  • The amendments will reduce greenhouse gas emissions by 558 million metric tons, NOx by more than 25,500 tons and PM 2.5 by more than 4,200 tons between 2025 and 2045.

Excerpt from Clean Fuels Alliance America:  Clean Fuels Alliance America commends the California Air Resources Board (CARB) for passing the amendments to the state’s Low Carbon Fuel Standard (LCFS), a move that marks another step forward in California’s decarbonization leadership. Clean Fuels acknowledges CARB’s continued commitment to a cleaner future, while recognizing there is more work ahead to ensure crop-based renewable fuels are recognized as a long-term solution.

“Clean Fuels has enjoyed a long partnership with CARB and is committed to working with staff to ensure that the updated regulation can meet California’s aggressive carbon reduction targets while supporting the agricultural community that is the backbone of our sustainable, clean fuels,” said Cory-Ann Wind, Director of State Regulatory Affairs at Clean Fuels Alliance America.

Since the LCFS was adopted in 2009, California fleets have used increasing amounts of biomass-based diesel to lower emissions and lessen reliance on fossil fuels. Fifteen years later, 75% of the state’s diesel pool is renewable and responsible for 45% of California’s progress under the LCFS. The biodiesel and renewable diesel industries are creating jobs, improving air quality, and providing sustainable options for fleets to reduce their carbon footprint today and at a lower cost than other options. Looking to the future, sustainable aviation fuel can do more of the same.

Clean Fuels also appreciates the Board’s direction to convene a public forum on the latest science on land use change related to transportation fuel and the impact on greenhouse gas emissions. It is imperative that the most current data is used to calculate the carbon intensity of fuels used in the LCFS, and we support this effort to get it right.  READ MORE

 

Excerpt from CBS News:  The program has a wide swath of critics -- from environmentalists to the oil industry -- with some analysts estimating changes to the state's low carbon fuel standard, or LCFS, could increase prices at the pump by as much as 65 cents a gallon. 

The plan approved late Friday at the end of a 12-hour meeting will increase the state's emission reduction targets and fund charging infrastructure for zero-emission vehicles. It also will phase out incentives for capturing methane emissions from dairy farms to turn into fuel.  

Environmental groups have criticized the program for stimulating the production of biofuels, which are derived from sources including plants and animal waste, when they say the state should focus more on supporting power for electric vehicles. They argue the proposal fails to adequately address those concerns.

The oil industry, state lawmakers and others have said the agency hasn't been transparent about how the proposed updates could increase gas prices.

...

Agency staff released a cost-benefit analysis last year estimating that the initial proposal could have led to an increase in gas prices by 47 cents per gallon by 2025. But staff has not repeated the analysis since later updating the proposal, and the agency contends it cannot accurately predict gas prices.

...

Gas prices in California are on average $1.47 a gallon higher than the national average mainly because of its gas taxes, the highest in the country. 

...

A CARB spokesperson issued a statement that read, in part: "The Low Carbon Fuel Standard is an effective climate and air quality program that has successfully reduced the use of fossil diesel in the state by 70% by incentivizing the development of cleaner fuels that give consumers increased options." 

"In fact, we estimate that the program will reduce transportation costs 42% over the next 20 years through increased options that are also better for the environment and public health," the statement added. "That is good for consumers and good climate action." 

...

The Trump administration in 2019 revoked California's ability to enforce its own tailpipe emissions standards. President Joe Biden later restored the state's authority, which was upheld in federal court.

Future challenges from the Trump administration could lead to long court battles, said David Pettit, a senior attorney with the Center for Biological Diversity's Climate Law Institute.  READ MORE

 

Excerpt from Alliance for Low Carbon Fuels: As California prepares to make key decisions on the future of its Low Carbon Fuel Standard (LCFS), a broad coalition of stakeholders from across the transportation and energy sectors has voiced strong support for maintaining and expanding this critical program. The LCFS, under the guidance of the California Air Resources Board (CARB), has proven essential in driving down greenhouse gas emissions, promoting cleaner fuel adoption, and supporting the state’s ambitious climate goals. Leaders from diverse industries, including transportation, renewable energy, biogas, hydrogen, and dairy, are coming together to highlight the importance of the LCFS in advancing California’s efforts to reduce pollution, improve public health, and foster economic growth. Their unified message is clear: by supporting the LCFS, California can continue to lead the way in sustainable innovation and set a powerful example for the nation and the world.

Sam Wade, Director of State Regulatory Affairs, The Coalition for Renewable Natural Gas    California has a decades-long history of climate leadership that is embodied today in its Low Carbon Fuel Standard — a nation-leading clean fuel program that has in just a few years fueled the displacement of more than 60% of state diesel supplies with cleaner alternatives. CARB's proposal to update this program will increase overall programmatic ambition while continuing to recognize the dual emissions reduction benefits of renewable natural gas (RNG) projects, which displace fossil fuels while capturing methane from organic waste sites. Due in part to support from the LCFS, California today boasts more dairy RNG projects than any other U.S. state, offering hope that we can tackle the environmentally pressing problems of transportation-linked pollution and agricultural methane emissions within our lifetimes. 

A vote for this proposal will allow our industry to move forward with investments critical to California's long-term greenhouse gas (GHG) reduction goals, catalyzing a growing effort to address climate change and protect our communities through sound policy and clean energy innovation.

Katrina Fritz, President & CEO, California Hydrogen Business Council   California's low carbon fuel standard is critical to build the markets for decarbonized fuels, including hydrogen.  As the requirements expand for lower and zero-emission transportation and goods movement, the LCFS provides an economic pathway for innovation and investment to begin the transition now.

Dan Gage, President, The Transport Project    For years now California’s Low Carbon Fuel Standard program has shepherded the reduction of planet-warming emissions and transitioned in-state fleets to cleaner motor fuels.  To do so, California Air Resources Board members guided by Chair Liane Randolph have relied on incentives and public-private partnerships to encourage, foster, and build out this green adoption. The Board should follow that sage approach by resisting calls to change course and adopt overly prescriptive and less collaborative policies. By approving these proposed amendments, CARB members will ensure that every fleet stakeholder will continue to have the ability to participate in and contribute to California’s emission reduction success by embracing a clean technology that works for their application and operation.

The Transport Project is a national coalition of roughly 200 fleets, vehicle and engine manufacturers and dealers, servicers and suppliers, and fuel producers and providers dedicated to the decarbonization of North America’s transportation sector.  Through the increased use of gaseous motor fuels including renewable natural gas and hydrogen, the United States and Canada can help achieve ambitious climate goals and greatly improve air quality safely, reliably, and effectively without delay and without compromising existing commercial business operations.  Find out more at: transportproject.org.

Robin Vercruse, Executive Director, The Low Carbon Fuels Coalition     This proposal strikes a balance to accelerate progress on climate goals, while reducing health impacts, decreasing pollution exposure disparities, fostering electrification, and promoting market competition—all at relatively lower cost and with less consumer disruption than a more restrictive approach.”

Dan Bowerson, Vice President, Energy & Environment, Alliance for Automotive Innovation:    California’s leading the nation in the transition to automotive electrification, but even at 25 percent market share, more can be done to help the state meet ACC II and EV sales requirements in the years ahead. The LCFS will support (actually accelerate) the switch to electrification and reduce the carbon intensity of liquid fuels still used in a majority of vehicles operating on California roads. Eliminating LCFS now will make the state’s climate goals more challenging and divert revenue that should be invested in low-carbon transportation and EV adoption.

Republic Services     Republic Services is committed to operating responsibly and sustainably. With 17,000 trucks on the road throughout North America, we are working hard to improve our environmental footprint through the use of EVs and lower-carbon fuels, such as renewable natural gas (RNG).

We also support sound regulations that promote reduced vehicle emissions, including the approval of revisions to California’s Low Carbon Fuel Standard. This program provides essential support for the deployment of low emission recycling and waste collection services to the communities we serve throughout the state. The revised regulation also offers a responsible timeline for conversion to a zero emissions future and encourages continued use of the lowest emission fuels available during the transition. 

Nicole Rice, President, California Renewable Transportation Alliance    CRTA supports the LCFS because it encourages innovative solutions across various industries and establishes California as a leader in sustainability practices. The movement towards low-carbon, renewable fuels has gained widespread support among fleets, reflecting our shared commitment to a greener future. Supporting the LCFS is essential to ensuring we make a successful transition to cleaner, renewable fuels and crucial for continuing our progress towards meeting the state’s carbon neutrality goal by 2045.

Julia Levin, Executive Director, Bioenergy Association of California    The LCFS is driving down carbon emissions and helping to build California’s circular economy by providing a market for fuels generated from organic waste that would otherwise be landfilled or burned.

Teresa Cooke, Executive Director, California Hydrogen Coalition    The California Hydrogen Coalition strongly supports the Low Carbon Fuel Standard (LCFS). The LCFS sends a cost-effective and critical investment signal supporting the progressive decarbonization of California’s transportation fuels and the deployment of zero-emission vehicle infrastructure like hydrogen fueling stations. This support is necessary to ensure California can meet our zero-emission vehicle goals for cars, trucks, buses, and off-road equipment like forklifts.

WM    WM has been a leading adopter of vehicles and infrastructure to transition our traditional diesel fleet to cleaner energy sources.  As we continue to grow our alternative fuel fleet, WM also is enabling the circular economy by investing in renewable natural gas (RNG) infrastructure at our landfills while increasingly operating our vehicles on the RNG that we produce.  Our long-term and ongoing investments in RNG, coupled with a fleet that can operate on this fuel, serve the dual purpose of reducing landfill methane emissions while moving us closer to a low-carbon collection fleet. These investments in sustainability are made possible through strong, technology-neutral programs like the LCFS.  By voting yes, CARB is providing the tools that companies like WM need to support California in reaching its climate ambitions.

Carlos Gutierrez, Executive Director, California Advanced Biofuels Alliance    California Advanced Biofuels Alliance (CABA) supports the LCFS amendments, which are crucial in expanding biofuel access and reducing California's reliance on imported oil. Biofuels are not only a lower-cost, domestically produced alternative, but they also play a vital role in reducing greenhouse gas emissions and improving air quality across the state. Although there is still work to be done in this rulemaking process, these amendments represent a strong first step toward a low-carbon future that benefits both our environment and consumers.

ChargePoint   On November 8 the California Air Resources Board (CARB) will vote on proposed amendments to the Low Carbon Fuel Standard (LCFS) program. The LCFS has been critical to reducing transportation emissions in California, which account for the largest share of emissions by sector. The LCFS also incentivizes innovative, cost effective decarbonization within the transportation value chain. The LCFS has also helped build out the charging infrastructure that California will need to meet its zero-emission vehicle (ZEV) goals.

Patrick Serfass, Executive Director of the American Biogas Council   Thanks to the Low Carbon Fuel Standard, California has led the nation in cutting greenhouse gas emissions from transportation. Biogas systems in the LCFS capture potent methane emissions, supply a carbon-negative fuel, and contribute significantly to reduced emissions from vehicles in California. We remain committed to working with California to expand this vital program that recycles waste material and uses it to strengthen the state's economy while fighting climate change.

Janice Linn, Founder and President, Green Hydrogen Coalition    The Green Hydrogen Coalition is glad to see California increase its ambition to transition away from fossil fuels. The Air Resources Board’s adoption of this update to the regulation will send clear signals that will catalyze more investment in non-fossil fuels like renewable hydrogen which will translate into good jobs, cleaner air, and set an example for the rest of the globe to follow. Now is the time to implement and the Green Hydrogen Coalition is ready to support the development of California’s renewable hydrogen economy.

Michael Boccadoro, Executive Director, Dairy Cares   The LCFS is critical to ensuring ongoing investment in dairy methane reduction efforts.  Staying the course ensures California will continue important progress toward the state’s ambitious climate goals while leading the world in methane emission reductions

Colin Sueyres, President and CEO, Western Propane Gas Association   Market-based mechanisms like LCFS provide Californians with the most affordable and least onerous method to meet the goals of the energy transition, ensuring that California remains economically competitive and minimizes harm to the lowest-income residents of our state. These mechanisms also lead to direct investment into California, developing the fuels of the future that can be exported around the country – and world. The propane industry remains committed as we have always been to providing a safe, reliable, affordable, and clean fuel to keep California moving toward the future.

Vinney Fornesi, South San Francisco Scavenger Company  As a family-owned small business, the California Air Resources Board’s Low Carbon Fuel Standard (LCFS) plays a crucial role in supporting our operations. The marketable credits generated under the LCFS help alleviate a portion of the operational costs associated with producing carbon-negative renewable fuels. These credits not only provide immediate financial relief but also serve to incentivize and attract future investment into the development of innovative carbon-negative fuel technologies. By participating in the LCFS, we are able to further our mission of advancing sustainable energy solutions while contributing to California's broader environmental goals.

Veronica Pardo, Executive Director, Resource Recovery Coalition of California  Resource Recovery Coalition of California (RRCC) and its members rely on the Low Carbon Fuel Standard (LCFS) to deploy lower-carbon and renewable fueled waste and recycling trucks in the communities they serve. It is through the LCFS program that our members can simultaneously improve local air quality and continue to protect the health and safety of their local communities by managing municipal solid waste.   READ MORE

 

Excerpt from Ethanol Producer Magazine:  According to CARB, the LCFS will now require fuel producers to track crop-based and forestry-based feedstocks to their point of origin. The program will also require independent feedstock certification to ensure biomass-based diesel and sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) feedstocks are not undermining natural carbon stocks. Palm-derived fuels are explicitly prohibited from receiving credits. 

CARB approved proposed updates to the LCFS that aim to limit the use of soybean oil, canola oil and sunflower oil in the production of LCFS-compliant biobased diesel fuels. The LCFS will now provide credits for biomass-based diesel produced from these feedstocks for up to 20% of annual biomass-based diesel reported on a company-wide basis. Biobased diesel fuel in excess of 20% will be assigned a carbon intensity (CI) equivalent for fossil-based diesel in line with LCFS regulations or the certified CI for the associated fuel pathway, whichever is greater. For companies that already have summitted a biomass-based diesel pathway certification or have an approved pathway under the LCFS, the 20% cap on soybean oil, canola oil and sunflower oil feedstocks take effect Jan. 1, 2028.

The amended LCFS also phases out avoided methane crediting associated with the use of biomethane as a combustion fuel but does extend the use of biomethane for renewable hydrogen to align with goals outlined in California’s 2022 Scoping Plan, which is the state’s plan for reducing climate-warming emissions and reaching carbon neutrality.

For RNG projects that break ground after Dec. 31, 2029, LCFS credit generation phases out after Dec. 31, 2040. For hydrogen, effective Jan. 1, 2030, hydrogen dispensed as a vehicle fuel must be at least 80% renewable. Starting Jan. 1, 2035, hydrogen produced using fossil gas as a feedstock is ineligible for LCFS credit generation unless biomethane attributes are matched to the hydrogen production. 

...

According to the RNG Coalition, the LCFS updates will increase overall program stringency while continuing to recognize the dual emissions reduction benefits of RNG projects, which displace fossil fuels while capturing methane from organic waste sites, like landfills, dairy farms and wastewater treatment facilities. 

Due in part to the support of the LCFS, California has more dairy RNG projects than any other state with 133 operational facilities and another 84 projects under development. The RNG Coalition said CARB’s vote will allow investors to move forward with those planned projects with confidence that California’s LCFS market will continue to reward their innovation. 

Additional information on the LCFS updates is available on the CARB website.  READ MORE

 

Excerpt from Biobased Diesel Daily:  To date, the LCFS has reduced the carbon intensity of California’s fuel mix by almost 13 percent and displacing 70 percent of the diesel used in the state with cleaner alternatives like biodiesel and renewable diesel.

This has displaced 320 million metric tons CO2 of gasoline and diesel emissions since the program’s inception. 

To the dismay of biofuel associations and industry stakeholders, the updated LCFS sends long-term market signals to phase out combustion fuels and increase zero emission fuels and transportation options.   READ MORE

QUOTE OF THE WEEK --- Todd Brix

If you capture one ton of CO2 from the air or a flue gas stack and bury it, you’ve removed one ton of CO2 from the atmosphere. If, however, you convert that one ton of captured CO2 to make one ton of product that is otherwise made from fossil fuels, which emits seven tons of CO2, you’ve avoided seven tons of CO2 emissions, not just one ton. -- Todd Brix, OCOchem's CEO   READ MORE
