CARB Floats Tighter Requirements, New Hydrogen Opportunities For LCFS

California air board officials are seeking feedback on a set of potential regulatory changes to the state’s low-carbon fuel standard (LCFS), including tightening pre-2030 carbon intensity (CI) reduction targets, setting first-time post-2030 requirements, expanding opportunities for hydrogen fuel, and promoting electricity storage. “For example, one option would be to expand the allowance of book-and-claim accounting to low-CI hydrogen injected into regional hydrogen pipelines,” said Jordan Ramalingham, a California Air Resources Board (CARB) staffer, during a Dec. 7 workshop on potential...
