Last month Oregon passed a Clean Fuels Program, that credits renewable fuels for their greenhouse gas reductions. This presentation discusses the potential value of those credits to Oregon biogas projects, and the potential future for Washington to follow Oregon and California's lead and create its own Low Carbon Fuel Standard.

Biomethane credit ownership ? Oregon – Entity that refines/treats biogas into biomethane ? Importers - Trucked – Owner of biomethane when trucked into Oregon - Pipeline – Owner of biomethane when injected into pipeline outside of Oregon.
Key Barrier: Financing projects ? LCFS market is – Nascent – Volatile – Complex – Under legal challenge – Policy dependent (demand = policy, supply = policy) ? ? credits are not “bankable”

Editor's Notes

  1. Lifecyle GHG assessment of the fuel. Dairy biogas number is outdated and doesn’t include avoided methane emissions. To be updated.
