These workshops provide a discussion on how fuel production pertains to low-carbon fuel regulations and the market conditions that affect the valuation of the fuel, including:

1. Evolution and uses of the fuel
2. Market value under low-carbon fuel programs such as the RFS and LCFS
3. Physical and contractual pathways for the fuel and environmental attributes

This introductory workshop helps to define life-cycle analysis (LCA) as a process, what drives the need for an LCA, and what boundaries the different models use. Once the baseline is set, trainers introduce a specific model and walk through the steps used to calculate a carbon intensity score of a product or pathway as it’s needed for participation in a low-carbon fuel regulation or overall carbon reduction goal.

Modules available

• LCA with Argonne GREET and CA-GREET
• LCA with GHGenius
• LCA with SimaPro
• LCA with OpenLCA
• LCA with Sphera/GaBi
• • •  

These workshops provide a more detailed discussion of how projects in given fuel spaces get developed and what the key roles and organizations are to bring the fuel to market under the regulations. The concepts are reinforced through project examples and case studies.
