Best Regards, Graham Noyes Noyes Law Corporation Comment Summary: The signatories of this letter are pleased to submit comments recommending a modification to the California Air Resources Board's ("CARB") proposed amendments to the Low Carbon Fuel Standard ("LCFS"). We support CARB's LCFS program, as it sends a market signal to decarbonize the transportation sector, is performance based, and provides long-term policy stability that supports investment. However, we respectfully request that CARB maintain LCFS policy stability for the clean fuels industry and preserve the eligibility of facilities that produce Power-to-Liquid ("PtL") fuels to source low-carbon intensity electricity ("Low-CI Electricity") via book-and-claim accounting. PtL fuels, also known as eFuels, electrofuels or synthetic fuels, are drop-in replacement fuels for use in airplanes, ships and motor vehicles that do not trigger the costs or delays inherent to engine or infrastructure changes. Specifically, we request that CARB preserve the current renewable energy certificate ("REC") system for electrolytic hydrogen and enable the sourcing of energy for PtL fuel production via book-and claim accounting. |
