Federal judge rules California’s LFCS may discriminate against Midwestern fuels

June 21, 2017 |

In California, a federal judge has ruled that the state’s low carbon fuel standard can’t discriminate against Midwest fuels in favor of California ones, but pretty much the rest of the policy can continue. He ruled that the LFCS does not in fact go against the constitution nor was the law in conflict with federal rules, and that Midwest-produced biofuels could potentially be pushed out of the market—even if unintentionally—by the state’s carbon intensity assignments to out-of-state fuels.
