After establishing an account in the Alternative Fuels Portal, per the requirements of section 95483.2(a), fuel pathway applicants must begin the application process by completing the facility and pathway registration through the AFP web portal. The provisions of 95488.2 do not apply to entities seeking to report fuel transactions for the fuel pathways listed in 95488.1(b)(1).
(a)Production and Intermediate Facility Registration. All production facilities and intermediate facilities from which site-specific operational data is relied upon in determining the CI score for a pathway must be registered in the AFP. All of the following fields that apply are required: (1) Production company name and full mailing address.(2) U.S. EPA Company ID for fuels covered by the federal RFS program. For fuels not covered by the RFS program, the AFP system will generate a Company ID.(3) Company contact person's contact information.(4) The fuel production facility name and address, for each proposed pathway.(A) For biomethane to vehicle fuel pathways, the fuel production facility is the upgrading facility that purifies or otherwise produces biomethane that meets the applicable standards for pipeline or vehicle-quality natural gas.(5) The names and addresses of any intermediate facilities, for each proposed pathway. (A) For biomethane to vehicle fuel pathways, intermediate facilities that must be registered include the liquefaction facility, and the location where biogas or other biomethane feedstock is produced, if that location is not also the upgrading facility that is registered as the fuel production facility.(B) For any feedstock whose supplier applies using site-specific CI data, the feedstock-processing facility must be registered as an intermediate facility for the fuel pathway in which the feedstock is utilized.(6) U.S. EPA Facility ID for fuels covered by the federal RFS program. For fuels not covered by the RFS program, the Executive Officer will assign a Facility ID.(7) Facility geographical coordinates (for each facility covered by the proposed pathways). Coordinates can be reported using either the latitude and longitude or the Universal Transverse Mercator coordinate systems.(8) Facility contact person's contact information.(9) Facility nameplate production capacity, or maximum expected throughput, in million gasoline gallon equivalents per year or other appropriate units. This information is required for each facility contributing site-specific data to the proposed pathways, including intermediate facilities in the supply chain.(b)Pathway Registration. All of the following fields that apply are required. (1) Consultant's contact information (2) Fuel type (renewable diesel, ethanol, etc.)(4) Brief pathway description (one to two sentences describing the technology, transport mode, and any non-standard co-products)(5) Proposed pathway carbon intensity value(6) Estimated annual fuel production quantity under the proposed pathway (estimated minimum, maximum, and average), in the applicable units specified for reporting in 95491(d)(1) through (5).(7)Classification. The fuel pathway applicant must declare whether the proposed fuel pathway falls under the Lookup Table, Tier 1 or Tier 2 provisions of this regulation as specified in section 95488.1. The Executive Officer will evaluate the fuel pathway applicant's classification declaration and either approve or change it.Cal. Code Regs. Tit. 17, § 95488.2
