    Note: Depends on the GREET net carbon intensity for your project. If you know your project's carbon intensity and the baseline carbon intensity for the fuel your biogas is replacing, you can estimate your value/MMBTU below.
  • CA gasoline is 95.86, CA conventional natural gas is 67.70 and CA diesel is 94.71. CA Air Resources Board lookup table here: https://www.arb.ca.gov/fuels/lcfs/121409lcfs_lutables.pdf
