It’s the interaction of the California LCFS with federal policy, particularly the Renewable Fuel Standard (RFS), that has led to California’s renewable diesel boom. In its early years, between 2005 and 2010, the RFS helped launch the massive scaleup of corn ethanol that established 10 percent ethanol as the de facto standard for US gasoline.

RGGI is a cap-and-invest program that would regulate carbon emissions from power plants. RGGI states are also “on track to achieve reductions of GHG emissions of 45 percent below 2005 levels by 2020”, according to the study. In the states in which it has been implemented, it has saved lives by reducing air pollution.

As someone who thinks a lot about soil carbon, the issue I see as rather under-discussed is what carbon economists call, “leakage.” In this context, leakage can be understood to mean carbon emissions that happen as a result of the implementation of a practice change, but on a different piece of land.
