Besides rejoining the Paris Agreement, Biden’s administration is proposing to commit $2 trillion to reducing greenhouse gas emissions to achieve net-zero emissions by 2050. His platform contemplates a national carbon tax and LCFS program like in Canada and California. The webinar will detail those programs as a lens to understand what impact a national policy could have on refiners, retailers, jobbers and consumers.

New programs are likely to look to California's long-standing cap and trade and low carbon fuel standard models for guidance.

Join our experts in this hour-long webinar to get ahead of the curve with insight into how low carbon fuels and carbon regulated markets work.

Find out who the obligated parties are, what those obligations might look like if it comes to your state, and how stakeholders can fulfill the obligation. You'll also learn what the cost of compliance is downstream, and how counter-parties have managed it. READ MORE
