Notes: Emissions data is based on analysis from California's Low Carbon Fuel Standard Final Regulation Order, April 15, 2010
This chart compares the intensity of life cycle greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions of various alternative fuels in heavy-duty vehicles. Alternative fuels with the greatest life cycle GHG benefits are CNG derived from landfills, CNG from dairy farms, and biodiesel produced from waste grease.
Emissions levels of some fuels vary by region, so data presented here may not be representative of those in other areas of the country.
