Low Carbon Fuel Credit Rebate Program

Register Your New and Existing Electric Vehicles With Big Joe to Earn Quarterly Rebates

CARB’s Low Carbon Fuel Standard (LCFS) program offers cash incentives for businesses with electric material handling equipment. Convert your forklift fleet to electric to generate credits for big rebates, while contributing to a greener future. At no cost, we handle the administrative burden of the end-to-end LCFS process from the complex aspects of regulatory compliance to reporting and transactions. This standard currently applies to California, Oregon, and Washington.

Chart Explaning the steps in the LCFS Program

The LCFS program works as a market system where users and producers of clean energy, including electric forklift owners, earn credits through their emission reductions, while emitters purchase those credits to offset their carbon footprint. The Low Carbon Fuel Standard is designed to decrease the carbon intensity of California’s transportation fuel pool and provide an increasing range of low-carbon and renewable alternatives, which reduce petroleum dependency and achieve air quality benefits.

In 2007, California created the Low Carbon Fuel Standard (LCFS) to reduce carbon intensity of transportation fuels. This ‘cap-and-trade’ style program is designed to motivate both the conventional fuel suppliers (e.g. diesel and gasoline producers) as well as low-carbon fuel users (e.g. EV owners).
The LCFS Regulation sets a carbon target for transportation fuel. Producers of high-carbon fuel (diesel, gasoline, etc.) have a deficit because their fuel does not meet the carbon standard. Users of low-carbon fuel (electric forklifts, EVs, etc.) create credits. The companies with the Deficits buy the Credits to bring them into compliance with the required carbon target. This means the revenue is not directly from the government and is not a one-time grant or rebate. This is a recurring revenue stream.
