Low Carbon Fuel Standard |
Executive Order S-1-07 calls for a Low Carbon Fuel Standard to reduce true
carbon intensity of California's transportation fuels at least 10 percent by the year 2020. Read about the ARB's
rulemaking effort here. |
State Alternative
Fuels Plan - AB 1007 |
State plan to increase the use of alternative transportation fuels in California |
Alternative
Fuels |
The ARB adopts standards for vehicular liquefied petroleum gas and other
alternative fuels sold commercially in California for motor vehicle use and for fuel used in certification
testing of new motor vehicles. |
Alternative
Diesel |
Alternative diesel fuels are one of the many strategies to control emissions
and reduce the risk from diesel engines. Alternative Diesel Fuels Symposium, information, verification
of emisssion benefits are presented here. |
Reformulated
Gasoline |
The use of this cleaner-burning fuel throughout California since the
spring of 1996 has had a significant beneficial effect on California's air. We present here a
series of publications, the regulations, an ongoing collection of meeting notices and other activities. |
Diesel Fuel |
All diesel fuel sold in California must be pollution-cutting specifications
established by the ARB to ensure that California diesel fuel is the cleanest-burning in the U.S. |
Fuels Multimedia
Evaluations |
State law requires multimedia evaluations and scientific peer reviews regarding any
changes in California's motor vehicle fuel specifications. |
Fuels Enforcement Activity
|
Fuels Enforcement Programs |
The ARB enforces compliance with the motor vehicle fuels regulations. Samples
of gasoline and diesel fuel are obtained from refineries, terminals and service stations, as well
as bulk purchaser / consumer facilities and analyzed for all regulated properties. |
Cargo Tank
Vapor Recovery Certification Program |
This program helps maintain the integrity of cargo tanks used to haul gasoline.
Owner / Operators of such tanks operating within California are required to have a vapor recovery
system. They must file an application and undergo tests to receive an ARB certification and decal which
is valid for one year. The regulation and application form are available on-line. |
Fuel Distributor
Registration |
We use this program in conjunction with special investigation and routine
inspection activities in an attempt to prevent organized criminals from breaking fuels regulations. |
Vapor Recovery Certification Programs |
The ARB evaluates and tests new and modified vapor recovery systems. These systems
recover gasoline vapors generated while fueling vehicles in service stations in California. You will find
executive orders, approval letters, links to stationary source test methods, and a list of agency contacts
and equipment manufacturers. |
