What kinds of activities can generate CFS credits?

Producers of low-carbon fuels (e.g., biofuels, electricity, and alternative jet fuel) are allowed to participate and create credits. Owning or operating charging or fueling equipment for electric vehicles (EVs) or hydrogen fuel cell electric vehicles (FCEVs) is a common way to generate credits under the CFS.  

Entities that install publicly-accessible low-carbon fueling infrastructure (e.g., DC fast chargers and hydrogen fueling infrastructure) are also able to generate credits. Infrastructure crediting is based on the capacity of the site infrastructure and establishes a credit baseline that the project can rely on receiving each quarter. Capacity credits generated by charging or fueling site installation play an important role in increasing infrastructure availability and expanding adoption of low-carbon technology.
