How It Works

The LCFS Credit Calculator estimates the number of credits that can be generated by supplying low-carbon fuels in California's market. The calculation is based on:

Fuel Type: Different fuels have unique energy contents and applications.
Carbon Intensity (CI): The greenhouse gas emissions associated with producing, distributing, and using the fuel (gCO₂e/MJ).
Energy Economy Ratio (EER): Accounts for efficiency differences between conventional and alternative fuel vehicles.
Application Distribution: How the fuel is used across different vehicle classes and applications.
