The Low Carbon Fuel Standard 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.

The Low Carbon Fuel Standard regulation was approved by the Office of Administrative Law on April 15, 2010. The regulation became effective on April 15, 2010. Implementation of the regulation began on January 1, 2011.
