TTP STATEMENT ON PROPOSED LCFS PROGRAM CHANGES BEFORE CARB

Riverside, CA – The Transport Project President Daniel Gage is preparing to provide verbal comments during a meeting today of the California Air Resources Board where CARB will be considering modifications to its Low Carbon Fuel Standard (LCFS) program.  Statement below:

“Through the increased use of gaseous motor fuels including renewable natural gas and hydrogen, we can achieve ambitious climate goals and greatly improve air quality safely, reliably, and effectively without delay and without compromising existing commercial business operations.

 “Our roughly 200 member companies and fleets support the proposed modifications before you and encourage their adoption.  They are not perfect, nor ideal for all, including our members; but they represent a rational, comprehensive, and consistent approach to strengthening the LCFS program and continuing its emissions reduction success.

 “Moving forward, it is important that CARB advance an LCFS that:

• Focuses on vehicles and fuels used;
• Centers on their well-to-wheel emissions, providing a level playing field for all; and
• Creates investment certainty by continuing to reward agriculturally based reductions including those achieved by the production of biofuels, especially RNG and Hydrogen produced from RNG.”
