In a potentially significant development that may impact the economics of aviation, the California Air Resources Board (“CARB”) is proposing a policy, as we previewed in January 2024, to update the state’s Low Carbon Fuel Standard (“LCFS”) program, whereby CARB would eliminate the existing exemption for intrastate fossil jet fuel from LCFS regulations beginning in 2028.

Power-to-liquids technology can accelerate aviation’s decarbonization journey. Every major industry faces a complex path toward carbon neutrality, and aviation is no exception. Large commercial aircraft account for nearly 75 percent of the industry’s carbon dioxide emissions, and batteries that are light enough to power them for long distances remain decades away. Even after the technology is developed, rolling it out — and replacing the legacy fleet — will take decades more.

Securing a carbon-neutral future requires seismic shifts across the global energy system. And as a versatile, powerful energy carrier, hydrogen promises to play a vital role. But fulfilling this promise won’t be easy, and doing so will depend largely on an ability to conceive forward-thinking low-carbon hydrogen projects, attract financing for them, and deliver them to market. Originally published in Infrastructure Investor, July 2023.

Hydrogen can play a vital role in the transition to a carbon-neutral economy, and momentum for it has never been stronger. Both governments and companies see the enormous potential of low-carbon hydrogen for storing energy, for powering a wide array of applications, and for reducing greenhouse gas emissions, especially where doing so has proven difficult.
