Workshop Workshop Sep 8 Draft Report & Alternatives analysis Workshop Oct 13 Draft Recommendations to Management Nov 3 Submit Final Report, appendices, data Nov 15 Final Report Due 1

2 Report: By Nov 15, 21 Ecology will recommend Whether to adopt a LCFS for Washington, or an alternative way to reduce transportation emissions What LCFS provisions best fit Washington How to best implement a program, if recommended Rule, or Statute 6 workshops for input from interested parties TIAX has developed CI values for WA Economic Analysis for WA will be done 2

3 Develop CI values Choose compliance scenarios Generate economic modeling inputs (REMI) Evaluate economic impacts of scenarios Consider all the issues: Feasibility Costs Benefits Administration Make Recommendation to Governor She decides next steps Estimate baseline fuels, prices, vehicles, etc From compliance scenarios estimate costs of alternative fuels, derived from volumes Estimate difference between cost of scenarios and baseline costs 5 main results from economic analysis Change in costs of transportation fuel Change in overall state economic output Change in personal incomes and employment Change in investment (e.g. CARB estimated 25 new biofuel facilities) Changes in tax revenues 3
