Low Carbon Fuel Standard

AQC works with our low carbon fuel producers and compliance entities within the Low Carbon Fuel Standard markets by facilitating LCFS transactions

LCFS

California’s LCFS program is designed to encourage the use and production of cleaner low-carbon transportation fuels in California. The program goal is to reduce greenhouse gas emissions from the transportation sector.

LCFS credits are generated when the carbon intensity of a fuel generated within the state creates a deficit to the standard carbon intensity of the fuel pathway. Compliance entities meet their obligation by ensuring the number of LCFS credits it earns, or otherwise acquire, from another party is equal to or greater than the deficits it has incurred.

At AQC, we assist our LCFS clients through:

  • Provide market education
  • Educate our clients on unique transactional structures available in the market
  • Facilitate the purchase and sale of LCFS credits
