Development and Analysis of a Durable Low-Carbon Fuel Investment Policy for California

This report focuses on ultralow-carbon fuel policy and funding scenarios for California. It looks at existing incentives supporting ultralow-carbon fuel and proposes the California Climate Investment Fuels Program (CCIFP). CCIFP, through a contract for difference (CfD) approach, would establish a 10-year guaranteed price floor for ultralow-carbon fuel producers using reverse auctions. This document lays out a framework for CCIFP policy and describes implementation options. Case studies from the United Kingdom and the World Bank and their use of reverse auction policy are evaluated.
