Oregon Clean Fuels Program

Home > LCFS Markets > Oregon

Oregon implemented the Clean Fuel Program (CFP) in 2016 in order to lower the carbon intensity (CI) of transportation fuels - the state’s largest source of greenhouse gas emissions. The program is planning to extend and accelerate its CI reduction targets to at least 50% by 2040, underscoring Oregon’s commitment to decarbonization.

Carbon Intensity Compliance

The CFP program establishes Carbon Intensity (CI) standards for gasoline and diesel fuel produced or imported in the state. Fuel suppliers (typically oil and gas companies) that exceed the CI standard may stay in compliance by purchasing credits that are issued to parties (like electric vehicle charger companies or biofuel producers) that supply fuel with a CI that is lower than the standard. Each year, the CI standard decreases in order to continue to support the market structure (i.e. driving demand for credits) and move towards the program goals of a lower carbon fuel system.
