The program’s original target was to reduce the carbon intensity (CI) of transportation fuel used in California by 2020 at least 10% from a 2010 baseline. 3] The Draft Scoping Plan addresses three ways in which transportation emissions may be reduced: (1) new technology; (2) innovative fuels; and (3) a decrease in vehicle miles traveled.

Instead of projecting energy trends forward based on specified assumptions about resources, technology, and economic and policy conditions, this one takes the target of global net-zero in 2050 as a constraint, then joins the dots back to the present. Not this time. Compared to IEA’s regular reports, this study reversed the logic.
