Low Carbon Fuel Standard (LCFS) Program
California’s Low Carbon Fuel Standard (LCFS) program, administered by CARB, is designed to reduce carbon intensity while driving economic growth. It encourages the adoption of low-carbon and renewable fuel technologies, making it a win for both the environment and your business.
By using electric forklifts and fleet electrification, your operations can generate valuable LCFS credits. These credits translate into significant cost savings while improving warehouse efficiency and sustainability.

Quarterly LCFS Credits for Your Electric Fleet
LCFS credits are available every quarter to owners of chargers for electric forklifts, vehicles (EVs), and heavy-duty trucks. Credits are calculated based on key factors:
- Charger Efficiency: How effectively your chargers operate.
- Battery Size: The capacity of your fleet’s batteries.
- Fleet Usage Data: Metrics that quantify CO2 emissions saved through low-carbon fuel alternatives.
The data is submitted to the California Air Resources Board for evaluation. After a 90-day review, CARB allocates and deposits the credits into your account.

Our Total Commitment To Adding Value
As the Total Specialist, we handle the application and enrollment process, helping companies capitalize on LCFS and energy credits.
At no cost, we handle the end-to-end LCFS process from the complex aspects of regulatory compliance to reporting and transactions.

How do LCFS Credits work?
The LCFS program works as a market system where users and producers of clean energy earn credits through their emission reductions. This includes electric forklift owners. Emitters purchase those credits to offset their carbon footprint.

LCFS Participation
EV fleet owners can voluntarily opt into the program. This program is eligible for businesses of all sizes, even those with only 1 electric vehicle.
Although the LCFS program is not mandated, the potential rebates and savings would go unclaimed and wasted.
