Background: State agencies act under the Transportation Fuel – Clean Fuels Program to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and the carbon intensity of transportation fuels by implementing the Clean Fuel Standard. This law requires Commerce to prepare a fuel supply forecast and make a prediction about the availability of sufficient credits to meet the requirements of statute and rules.
Commerce must finalize a forecast by October 1, 2025, for the compliance period of January 1, 2026-December 31, 2026. Commerce has contracted with the Berkeley Research Group (BRG) to provide the factual and technical basis for this effort. BRG also produced the previous forecast reports.
