| Subject | Request for Advisory Panel recommendation on petroleum fuels carbon intensity values |
| Comment |
Dear Advisory Panel members, Accurate carbon intensity estimates for transportation fuels are critical to the efficacy of the LCFS. Refined petroleum fuels now dominate the transport fuel mix. However, current LCFS carbon intensity values for these fuels omit direct and indirect emissions associated with refining denser, higher sulfur crude oils. Please consider the attached scientific evidence quantifying the impact of these emissions that are likely to increase dramatically by 2020 on the efficacy of the LCFS and supporting an Advisory Panel recommendation for revisions to account for this source of emissions in the carbon intensity values. Attachments noted in this comment will follow directly. Thank you, in advance for considering this critically important matter. Greg Karras, Senior Scientist, CBE |
