The State of California takes its cue from the regulation made possible by Governor Arnold Schwarzenneger on Low Carbon Fuel Standard, calling for the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions from California’s transportation fuels by 10 percent by 2020.
The regulation encourages the use of four primary low carbon alternative fuels for transportation: hydrogen, electricity, natural gas and biomethane. Two of the four fuels, natural gas and biomethane, are in the form of fuel (CNG and LNG) provided by Clean Energy Fuels Corp., North America’s leader in clean transportation.
“The new standard means we can begin to break our century-old dependence on petroleum and provide California with greater energy security,” said California ARB Chairman Mary D. Nichols in making the announcement.
“This regulation confirms the value of using domestic natural gas as a low carbon alternative fuel for transportation as California and the nation seek to clean the air and reduce dependence on imported petroleum,” said Andrew J. Littlefair, Clean Energy president and CEO. “Domestic CNG and LNG already exceed the state’s 2020 goal of 10% carbon reduction.”
