Thank you for your comments.

Can you provide me with the calculations for the pathways requested below? Either in OR-GREET or an equivalent lifecycle analysis model.

Hello,

Whole Energy is a producer and distributor of renewable fuels in BC, WA, OR, and CA. We currently provide biodiesel and renewable natural gas. We are interested in providing renewable electricity and propane as a transportation fuel. We would like to see the inclusion of the following in the Clean Fuels Standard:

1. An allowance of a pathway for 100% renewable natural gas that is placed into a pipeline and then conveyed to a specific transportation end-user
2. An allowance of a pathway for 100% renewable electricity that is placed into an electrical grid and then conveyed to a specific transportation end-user
3. An allowance of a pathway for 100% renewable LPG-substitute such as di-methyl ether to be used as a low carbon transportation fuel

We are interested in participating in the adoption of this program. We also suggest that a reporting tool somewhat like what is available under the CA LCFS Reporting Tool be developed and tested long before any users are expected to utilize it.

Regards, Atul
