Low Carbon Fuel Standards (LCFSs), hybrids of market and regulatory approaches, have been proposed as one way to address issues of energy security, climate change and life cycle emissions, without stifling economic growth. We explored the range of low-carbon transportation policies available to regulators, describe the role of California’s low-carbon fuel standard within the context of these other policies, suggest evaluation criteria that regulators can use to evaluate low-carbon transportation policy options and alternatives to the low-carbon fuel standard.
