Abstract
The carbon intensity (CI) score is used to appropriately value a unit of transportation fuel under California’s Low Carbon Fuel Standard (LCFS) policy. This fact sheet series will cover the CI score related to biomethane, also known as renewable natural gas (RNG), produced from the anaerobic digestion of dairy manure, as applicable to New York State (NYS) dairy farms. Part 1 covers the CI score terminology, use, and components. Part 2 covers useful guidelines on the Tier 1 CI computation applicable to NYS dairy digester projects.
