The California Air Resources Board has approved an update to the state’s Low Carbon Fuel Standard (LCFS) that will make it more difficult for biofuel producers to generate regulatory credits, and seems likely to result in the largest share of credits going to support electricity for EV charging. The program, which is funded by fossil fuel suppliers whose product emissions exceed legislators’ emissions targets, delivered $2.8 billion to suppliers of biofuels and electricity for EVs last year.

One of the biggest problems with public EV charging is the fragmented nature of the networks (now more fashionably known as CPOs). Charging an EV should be as easy as using a cell phone, but many CPOs still expect drivers to download apps, set up passwords, etc. Ugh! Hubject has developed an eRoaming platform that provides standardized access to EV charging infrastructure by allowing members of a charging network (or EMP) to connect to chargers belonging to other participating networks.

With the first wave of the energy transition, renewable energy sources (such as solar and wind) have begun replacing coal power generation. However, some sectors are lagging behind and struggling to decarbonize more than others, including large-scale transportation like commercial aviation, shipping, and rail transit. Electrofuels (aka eFuels) are the next generation of solutions to help the hardest-to-abate sectors pivot from their reliance on fossil fuels.
