Fuel producers and importers operating in California and Oregon are required to submit Annual Fuel Pathway Reports (AFPRs) to demonstrate the carbon intensity (CI) of their fuels. Accurate verification of these reports is essential to maintaining compliance, maximizing credit generation, and avoiding potential penalties.

California’s Low Carbon Fuel Standard (CA-LCFS) and Oregon’s Clean Fuels Program (OR-CFP) require entities to submit AFPRs, which include detailed accounts of fuel production processes, lifecycle CI, and emissions data. The AFPRs are submitted by fuel producers and importers to the California Air Resources Board (CARB) and the Oregon Department of Environmental Quality (OR-DEQ). Verified and validated AFPRs help ensure that reported data is accurate, transparent, and in full compliance with regulatory requirements, safeguard businesses against compliance risks, and enhance the integrity of carbon credit generation.
