CARB approves SCS Global Services for LCFS verification

In California, SCS Global Services is now approved by the California Air Resources Board (CARB) as a verification body for the Low Carbon Fuel Standard (LCFS). The goal of the LCSF is to reduce the carbon intensity of California’s transportation fuel pool. The program also provides a range of low-carbon and renewable alternatives ultimately reducing petroleum dependency and improving air quality.

CARB recently added third-party verification requirements to the LCFS to ensure data completeness, accuracy, and conformance with the regulation by participants. In addition, verification for LCFS provides confidence and reliability in reported data for stakeholders, market participants, and the public.

SCS is the only California-based global verification body for the LCFS program with approved lead auditors located in North America, Central America, Brazil and Southeast Asia. SCS auditors have more than ten years’ experience in conducting assessments in the low carbon fuels sector, including corn ethanol, sugarcane ethanol, biodiesel, renewable diesel and sustainable aviation fuel.
