■ California Carbon Offsets — The California Air Resources Board issues offset credits to qualifying projects that reduce or sequester greenhouse gases pursuant to approved protocols.
Renewable energy certificates Renewable Energy Certificates (RECs) are used to track and account for the use of renewable energy including for the purposes of state-administered programs that require electric utilities to use a prescribed amount of renewable energy.
Biofuels Biofuels play a key role in meeting goals to reduce greenhouse gas emissions in the transportation sector.
Fuel Standard (RFS) mandates the incorporation of renewable fuels into transportation fuel.
Each year, the EPA outlines the volume requirements for each renewable fuel category and sets those volumes through the annual renewable volume obligation (RVO).
The RVO applies to a basket of US Renewable Identification Numbers (RINs) which are credits generated by renewable fuel producers to track the compliance of transportation fuel under the RFS program.
Obligated parties, including refiners and importers of transportation fuel in the US, must either generate RINs or purchase them to meet their annual commitments.
ICE offers RVO and RINs futures to help regulated entities manage and price emissions, as well as meet compliance obligations.
California Low Carbon Fuel Standard Credit - The Low Carbon Fuel Standard (LCFS) is designed to decrease the carbon intensity of California's transportation fuel pool and provide an increasing range of low-carbon and renewable alternatives, which reduce petroleum dependency and achieve air quality benefits.
