Clean Fuels Outlet Regulation
This page last reviewed April 27, 2012
Background
The Clean Fuels Outlet (CFO) Regulation is intended to provide outlets of clean fuel to meet the needs of those driving clean, alternative fuel vehicles. This program was initiated in 1990 and last updated in 2000. The program was originally designed with methanol, ethanol and compressed natural gas in mind to ensure that an appropriate number of fueling stations could dispense a designated fuel once a certain number of vehicles using that fuel are certified in California to the Low Emission Vehicles (LEV) standard.
At the December 2009 Board Hearing on the Zero Emission Vehicle (ZEV) regulation, the Board directed staff to evaluate the CFO Regulation to determine if it is an appropriate tool to spur near-term hydrogen infrastructure development. Here you will find information on the original Clean Fuels Outlet Regulation and how this regulation has been updated as part of the Advanced Clean Cars Program to meet our air quality and greenhouse gas emission reduction goals.
