Your Fuel Strategy Needs to Evolve—LCFS Is the First Step

Natural gas producer hedging strategy

Overview

The LCFS aims to reduce the carbon intensity (CI) of transportation fuels. A lower CI score means greater environmental benefit — and more valuable energy.

LCFS credits are earned when renewable fuels are used in California, Oregon, or Washington. When RNG is used as transportation fuel, both RIN and LCFS credits can be stacked for added value.

 

California Projects

California allows the generation of LCFS credits by the following projects:

Solar installation at Oil Fields

Refinery Investments

EV charging infrastructure
Renewable natural gas

Carbon capture and storage

Renewable Identification Numbers (RINs) 

Renewable Identification Numbers (RINs) are unique codes used to track biofuels as they move through the fuel supply chain. RINs serve as the currency of compliance under the Environmental Protection Agency’s Renewable Fuel Standard (RFS). Often paired with LCFS credits—and in some cases stackable—RINs represent a valuable asset that can also be hedged to manage price volatility and secure financial outcomes.
