Winnipeg-Based Climate Assurance Leader Expands into the U.S. Market
WINNIPEG, CANADA — Standard Carbon Inc., one of Canada’s leading ISO 14065:2020 accredited greenhouse gas (GHG) assurance bodies, today announced it has received accreditation as an approved third-party verification body under the California Air Resources Board (CARB) Low Carbon Fuel Standard (LCFS) program.
This accreditation marks Standard Carbon’s formal entry into the U.S. clean fuels verification market, enabling the company to serve fuel producers, importers, and regulated parties seeking independent verification of their carbon intensity (CI) pathway scores and LCFS compliance obligations.
Transferable Expertise, Proven Standards
The LCFS is one of California’s most consequential climate programs, designed to reduce the carbon intensity of the state’s transportation fuel pool and accelerate adoption of low-carbon alternatives. Regulated parties must demonstrate their fuel mix meets annual CI benchmarks or acquire sufficient credits from qualifying low-carbon fuel providers.
Standard Carbon brings directly transferable expertise from its work under Canada’s Clean Fuel Regulation (CFR), which shares the LCFS’s life cycle assessment (LCA) foundation, carbon intensity scoring methodology, and rigorous third-party assurance requirements.
“Our accreditation under the LCFS is a natural extension of the work we’ve been doing in Canada for years,” said Alex Stuart, President & CEO. “The LCFS is one of the most sophisticated clean fuel programs in the world, and we’re proud to bring trusted, independent verification to the producers and fuel pathway developers who need it.”
