California Adopts Landmark Low Carbon Fuel Standard Source: NGVAmerica Friday, 24 April 2009 00:00 USA, California
California Air Resources Board (CARB) has voted 9-1 to approve the country's first low-carbon fuel standard (LCFS) for transportation fuels. The regulation when fully implemented is expected to result in annual reductions of 16 million metric tons of carbon dioxide equivalent emissions and lead to the increased use of alternative fuels. The regulation takes effect beginning in 2011 and requires fuel providers over time to reduce the carbon content of the fuels they supply. When fully phased in, the regulations require a 10-percent reduction in the carbon content of fuels.

Of the sum, $43 million will be invested to help advance the introduction of natural gas vehicles (NGVs).
