Senate Transportation and Housing Committee Providing Fuels of the Future

1. WESTERN STATES PETROLEUM ASSOCIATION Senate Transportation and Housing Committee Providing Fuels of the Future Catherine Reheis-Boyd President October 24, 2011

2. WESTERN STATES PETROLEUM ASSOCIATION Low Carbon Fuel Standard • Adopted April 2009 • Reduce full fuel cycle “carbon intensity”C.I.) of transportation fuel pool at least 10% by 2020; a reduction of 16MMT of GHG emissions; 10% of total GHG reductions to meet AB32 target • Intended to drive market toward innovative, low carbon fuels • Reduce California’s dependence on petroleum • Applies to all refiners, blenders, producers or importers • Considers direct and indirect land use changes • Includes periodic reviews – 2011, 2014 • Board revisions to regulation in 2011 2

12. WESTERN STATES PETROLEUM ASSOCIATION LCFS impacts to California refiners, consumers • Lower carbon intensity biofuels are expected to command a price premium • Over the long‐term, there will be pressure to pass costs increases along to consumers • The potential impact on E10 prices for blends using Brazilian ethanol could range between 10.4 cents per gallon and 17.5 cents per gallon • There are numerous challenges to developing adequate vehicle production and sales, refueling infrastructure, and technical standards Source: California Energy Commission, Draft Staff Report , Transportation Energy Forecasts and Analyses for the 2011 Integrated Energy Policy Report, August 2011 12
