US EditionControversial Climate Rule, Which Could Raise Gas Prices, About To Go Into Effect
- California’s updated Low Carbon Fuel Standard will begin implementation on Tuesday, aiming to enhance the reduction of emissions from transportation fuels.
- The rule builds on the 2011 standard that added 9 cents a gallon and was delayed earlier this year for clarity by the state's administrative law office.
- Over the past 13 years, the program has replaced 25 billion gallons of petroleum-based fuels and achieves emissions reductions comparable to removing more than 120 million cars from the road annually.
- Estimates of price impact vary, with a UC Davis study suggesting a 5 to 8 cent increase per gallon while critics claim up to 65 cents, though no immediate gas price hike will occur.
- The new standard aims to raise California's emissions reduction goal from 20% to 30% by 2030 despite political opposition and ongoing legislative efforts to cap fuel credit prices.
