CO 2 emissions remain mostly level through 2050—nowhere close to meeting US climate goals. Carbon emissions remain high. This is in total opposition to the US commitment under the Paris Agreement to achieve a 50-52 percent emissions reduction below 2005 levels by 2030, and net-zero by 2050.

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. In past rulemakings, CARB accounted for this policy overlap by only including climate benefits that exceed those required by federal law.
