(h) Renewable or Low-CI Process Energy. Unless expressly provided elsewhere in this subarticle, indirect accounting mechanisms for renewable or low-CI process energy, such as the use of renewable energy certificates, cannot be used to reduce CI. In order to qualify as a low-CI process energy source, energy from that source must be directly consumed in the production process as described in (1) and (2) below:
(1) Low-CI electricity must be supplied from generation equipment under the control of the pathway applicant. Such electricity must be able to demonstrate:
- (A) Any renewable energy certificates or other environmental attributes associated with the energy are not issued credits or claimed under any other voluntary or mandatory program with the exception of the federal RFS, and the market-based compliance mechanism set forth in title 17, California Code of Regulations Chapter 1, Subchapter 10, article 5 (commencing with section 95800).
- (B) The generation equipment is directly connected through a dedicated line to a facility such that the generation and the load are both physically located on the customer side of the utility meter. The generation source may be grid-tied, but a dedicated connection must exist between the source and load.
- (C) The facility's load is sufficient to match the amount of low-CI electricity claimed using a monthly balancing period.
- (2) Biogas or biomethane must be physically supplied directly to the production facility. The applicant must submit the attestation set forth below in section 95488.8(i)(2)(C)2.
- (3) Solar steam or heat generation must be physically supplied directly to the production facility, and any environmental attributes associated with the energy are not produced, or are retired and not claimed under any other program with the exception of the federal RFS, and the market-based compliance mechanism set forth in title 17, California Code of Regulations Chapter 1, Subchapter 10, article 5 (commencing with section 95800).
(i) Indirect Accounting for Low-CI Electricity, Biomethane, and Low-CI Hydrogen.
(1) Book-and-Claim Accounting for Low-CI Electricity Supplied as a Transportation Fuel, Direct Air Capture projects, or Used to Produce Hydrogen as a transportation fuel. Reporting entities may use indirect accounting mechanisms for low-CI electricity supplied as a transportation fuel, for hydrogen production and processing for hydrogen used as a transportation fuel, or for direct air capture projects, provided the conditions set forth below are met:
- (A) For electricity used as a transportation fuel, the low-CI electricity must be supplied to the grid within a California Balancing Authority or alternatively, meet the requirements of California Public Utilities Code section 399.16, subdivision (b)(1). Such book-and-claim accounting for low-CI electricity may span only three quarters. If a low-CI electricity quantity (and all associated environmental attributes, including a beneficial CI) is supplied to the grid in the first calendar quarter, the quantity claimed for LCFS reporting must be matched to grid electricity used as a transportation fuel no later than the end of the third calendar quarter. After that period is over, any unmatched low-CI electricity quantities expire for the purpose of LCFS reporting.
(B) Low-CI electricity used as a transportation fuel can be indirectly supplied through a green tariff program (including the Green Tariff Shared Renewables program described in California Public Utilities Code Section 2831-2833) or other contractual electricity supply relationship that meets the following requirements:
- 1. Electricity is generated by, or supplied under contract to, the pathway applicant for all environmental attributes of the claimed electricity. In order to substantiate low-CI electricity claims, the applicant must make contracts available to the Executive Officer, upon request, to demonstrate that the electricity meets the requirements of this subarticle. Generation invoices or metering records are required to substantiate the quantity of low-CI electricity produced from the renewable assets. Monthly invoices must be unredacted copies of originals showing electricity sourced (in kWh) and contracted price;
- 2. All electricity procured by any LSE for the purpose of claiming a lower CI must be in addition to that required for compliance with the California Renewables Portfolio Standard (described in California Public Utilities Code sections 399.11-399.32), in addition to local renewable portfolio requirements;
- 3. Renewable energy certificates or other environmental attributes associated with the electricity, if any, are not issued credits or claimed under any other voluntary or mandatory program with the exception of the federal RFS, and the market-based compliance mechanism set forth in title 17, California Code of Regulations Chapter 1, Subchapter 10, article 5 (commencing with section 95800). Retirement of renewable energy credits for the purpose of demonstrating Green Tariff Shared Renewables procurement to the California Public Utilities Commission does not constitute a double claim.
(C) For direct air capture projects or for hydrogen used as a transportation fuel, low-CI electricity must meet the following criteria:
- 1. The low-CI electricity must be supplied to the grid within the local balancing authority where the electricity is consumed or delivered to that local balancing authority without substitution consistent with the requirements of California Public Utilities Code section 399.16, subdivision (b)(1).
- 2. The pathway holder or the project operator must be the first contracted entity for procuring the low-CI electricity.
- 3. Low-CI electricity must be supplied by new or expanded low-CI electricity that begins new or expanded production on or after January 1, 2022, or within three years of the start of the hydrogen production facility or direct air capture project, whichever is later.
- 4. Such book-and-claim accounting for low-CI electricity may span only three quarters. If a low-CI electricity quantity (and all associated environmental attributes, including a beneficial CI) is supplied to the grid in the first calendar quarter, the quantity must be claimed for LCFS reporting no later than the end of the third calendar quarter. After that period is over, any unmatched low-CI electricity quantities expire for the purposes of LCFS reporting.
- 5. Any renewable energy certificates or other environmental attributes associated with the energy are not issued credits or claimed produced, or are retired and not claimed under any other voluntary or mandatory program with the exception of the federal RFS, incentives under the Infrastructure Investments and Jobs Act or the Inflation Reduction Act, and the market-based compliance mechanism set forth in Title 17, CCR, Division 3, Chapter 1, Subchapter 10, Article 5 (commencing with section 95800).
(2) Book-and-Claim Accounting for Pipeline-Injected Biomethane Used as a Transportation Fuel, to Produce Electricity for EV Charging, or to Produce Hydrogen. Indirect accounting may be used for RNG used as a transportation fuel, to produce electricity using a fuel cell for EV charging, or to produce hydrogen for transportation purposes (including hydrogen that is used in the production of a transportation fuel), provided the conditions set forth below are met:
- (A) RNG injected into the common carrier pipeline in North America (and thus comingled with fossil natural gas) can be reported as dispensed as bio-CNG, bio-LNG, or bio-L-CNG, or to produce electricity using a fuel cell for EV charging, or as an input to hydrogen production, without regards to physical traceability. Entities may report natural gas as RNG within only a three-quarter time span. If a quantity of RNG (and all associated environmental attributes, including a beneficial CI) is pipeline-injected in the first calendar quarter, the quantity claimed for LCFS reporting must be matched to natural gas sold in California as RNG no later than the end of the third calendar quarter. After that period is over, any unmatched RNG quantities expire for the purpose of LCFS reporting.
(B) Biomethane reported under fuel pathways associated with projects that break ground after December 31, 2029, injected into the common carrier pipeline, and claimed indirectly under the LCFS program for use as bio-CNG, bio-LNG, or bio-L-CNG in CNG vehicles, or to produce electricity using a fuel cell for EV charging, or as an input to hydrogen production must demonstrate compliance with the following requirements:
- 1. Starting January 1, 2041, for bio-CNG, bio-LNG, and bio-L-CNG pathways, and January 1, 2046, for biomethane used to produce electricity using a fuel cell for EV charging, or as an input to hydrogen production, the entity reporting biomethane must demonstrate that the pipeline or pipelines along the delivery path physically flow from the initial injection point toward the fuel dispensing facility at least 50 percent of the time on an annual basis. Notwithstanding the above, if the number of unique Class 3-8 ZEVs reported or registered in California exceeds 132,000 ZEVs or NZEVs on December 31, 2029, based on the evaluation and notification specified by section 95488(d), then the entity reporting under bio-CNG, bio-LNG and bio-L-CNG pathways for CNG vehicles must demonstrate the physical flow listed above after December 31, 2037. Entities may report natural gas as RNG within only a three-quarter time span. If a quantity of RNG (and all associated environmental attributes, including a beneficial CI) is pipeline-injected in the first calendar quarter, the quantity claimed for LCFS reporting must be matched to natural gas sold in California as RNG no later than the end of the third calendar quarter. After that period is over, any unmatched RNG quantities expire for the purpose of LCFS reporting.
(C) To substantiate RNG quantities injected into the pipeline for dispensing as bio-CNG, bio-LNG, or bio-L-CNG, or to produce electricity using a fuel cell for EV charging, or as an input to hydrogen production, the pathway application and subsequent Annual Fuel Pathway Reports must include the following documents linking the environmental attributes of RNG (in MMBtu or Therms) with corresponding quantities of natural gas withdrawn:
- 1. Unredacted monthly invoices showing the quantities of RNG (in MMBtu) sourced and the contracted price per unit;
- 2. Unredacted contract by which the fuel pathway holder obtained the environmental attributes.
(D) Starting January 1, 2041, for bio-CNG, bio-LNG, and bio-L-CNG pathways (unless the accelerated timeline is activated by the criteria described in section 95488.8(i)(2)(B)1.), and January 1, 2046, for biomethane used to produce electricity using a fuel cell for EV charging, or as an input to hydrogen production, to substantiate RNG quantities injected into the pipeline for biomethane fuel pathways associated with projects that break ground after December 31, 2029, the pathway application and subsequent Annual Fuel Pathway Reports must include the documents required by section 95488.8(i)(2)(C) as well as the following documents:
- 1. Monthly pipeline nomination reports for each pipeline along the delivery path.
(E) Attestations Regarding Environmental Attributes.
- 1. Upstream Attestations. An entity reporting any RNG as a transportation fuel in LRT-CBTS, and a fuel pathway holder using biogas or biomethane as feedstock or process energy, must obtain and keep attestations from each upstream party collectively demonstrating that (a) the entity claiming the environmental attributes has the exclusive right to claim environmental attributes associated with the sale or use of the biogas or biomethane, and (b) no entity has been issued credits based on the environmental attributes in any other voluntary or mandatory program with the exception of the federal RFS, and the market-based compliance mechanism set forth in title 17, California Code of Regulations Chapter 1, Subchapter 10, article 5 (commencing with section 95800). The upstream parties must maintain the attestations. The reporting entities' and the upstream parties' attestations must be made available to the Executive Officer or a verifier upon request. The inability to promptly produce the attestations constitutes ground for credit invalidation pursuant to section 95495.
2. Attestation to CARB. An officer of any entity reporting biomethane in LRT-CBTS under the provisions of section 95488.8(i)(2), and an officer of any fuel pathway holder claiming use of biogas or biomethane as process energy under the provisions of section 95488.8(h)(2), must annually submit the following attestation to the Executive Officer:
I certify that to the extent that the gas used in the fuel pathway or supplied as transportation fuel is characterized as biomethane, __________ (entity name) owns the exclusive rights to the corresponding environmental attributes.
__________ (entity name) has not sold, transferred, or retired those environmental attributes in any program or jurisdiction other than the federal RFS.
Based on diligent inquiry and review of contracts and attestations from our business partners, I certify under penalty of perjury under the laws of the State of California that no other party has or will sell, transfer, or retire the environmental attributes corresponding to the biomethane for which __________ (entity name) claims credit in the LCFS program.

(3) Book-and-Claim Accounting for Pipeline-Injected low-CI Hydrogen Used in FCV and Alternative Fuel Production. Indirect accounting may be used for low-CI hydrogen used in FCVs or to produce alternative fuel for transportation purposes provided the conditions set forth below are met:
- (A) Low-CI hydrogen is injected into a dedicated hydrogen pipeline physically connected to California.
- (B) The well-to-wheel carbon intensity of low-CI hydrogen does not exceed 55.00 gCO2e/MJ of gaseous hydrogen or 95.00 gCO2e/MJ if transported as liquid before pipeline injection. If hydrogen is produced from steam methane reforming of natural gas, book-and-claim accounting of biomethane may be used to meet the carbon intensity thresholds.
- (C) Low-CI hydrogen is produced from production facilities that become operational or expand production after December 31, 2022.
- (D) Low-CI hydrogen can be reported as dispensed to FCVs or as an input to transportation fuel production, without regard to physical traceability. Entities may report low-CI hydrogen using a monthly balancing period substantiated by contractual documents. After that period is over, any unmatched low-CI hydrogen quantities expire for the purpose of LCFS reporting. Any unmatched quantities of hydrogen must either use a default emission factor for hydrogen provided in the Tier 1 CI Calculator for renewable diesel if hydrogen is used as process input in biofuel production, or use the CI calculated from the Tier 1 CI calculator for hydrogen by considering natural gas as feedstock if hydrogen is used in FCVs.
- (E) To substantiate low-CI hydrogen quantities injected into the pipeline for dispensing in FCVs or as an input to alternative fuel production, the pathway application and subsequent Annual Fuel Pathway Reports must include the following documents linking the environmental attributes of low-CI hydrogen in kg with corresponding quantities of hydrogen in kg withdrawn from the pipeline: unredacted monthly invoices showing the quantities of low-CI hydrogen (in kg) sourced and the contracted price per kg; and the unredacted contract by which the fuel pathway holder obtained the environmental attributes.
(F) Attestations Regarding Environmental Attributes.
- 1. Upstream Attestations. An entity reporting any low-CI hydrogen as a transportation fuel in LRT-CBTS, or a fuel pathway holder using low-CI hydrogen as input to alternative fuel production, must obtain and keep attestations from each upstream party collectively demonstrating that (a) the entity claiming the environmental attributes has the exclusive right to claim environmental attributes associated with the sale or use of the low-CI hydrogen, and (b) no entity has been issued credits based on the environmental attributes in any other voluntary or mandatory program with the exception of the tax credits claimed under the Inflation Reduction Act of 2022 (Pub.L. No. 117-169 (August 16, 2022)). The inability to promptly produce attestations constitutes ground for credit invalidation pursuant to section 95495.
2. Attestation to CARB. An officer of any entity reporting low-CI hydrogen in LRT-CBTS and an officer of any fuel pathway holder claiming use of low-CI hydrogen as input to alternative fuel production under the provisions of section 95488.8(i)(3), must annually submit the following attestation to the Executive Officer:
I certify that to the extent that the hydrogen used in the fuel pathway or supplied as transportation fuel is characterized as low-CI hydrogen, __________ (entity name) owns the exclusive rights to the corresponding environmental attributes.
__________ (entity name) has not sold, transferred, or retired those environmental attributes in any program or jurisdiction other than the federal RFS.
Based on diligent inquiry and review of contracts and attestations from our business partners, I certify under penalty of perjury under the laws of the State of California that no other party has or will sell, transfer, or retire the environmental attributes corresponding to the low-CI hydrogen for which __________ (entity name) claims credit in the LCFS program.
