What is a CFS credit?

Each CFS credit represents the reduction of one ton of CO2-equivalent on a life-cycle emissions basis. Fuel suppliers are able to reduce the CI of their fuels through several different activities, including: manufacturing or blending low-carbon biofuels into the fuel they sell, enhancing fuel production efficiency, or purchasing CFS credits.
