This paper gives presentation on Ethanol use in California's Gasoline, its policy drivers and challenges. The presentation begins with a background followed by California's Request for oxygen waiver, ethanol demand scenarios, policy drivers for use of ethanol, challenges and opportunities, and California ethanol information.
The objective of this presentation is to identify bottlenecks and redundancies in regulatory processes. The focus are to develop recommendations to reduce the bottlenecks and redundancies. Claims have been made that the permitting process for petroleum product storage facilities is contributing to a shortage of storage capacity.
Historically California has been reasonably self-sufficient in both crude oil and products. In addition to the crude oil produced domestically, California's supply has been supplemented by crude oil from Alaska, and a certain amount of specialty crude oils from the Pacific, and occasionally from the Middle East. Product imports were...
This report describes a prudent strategy that addresses the three major transportation energy issues facing California.

This report shows the output of California's refineries which has not been able to keep up with demand growth in recent years and the State has become a net importer of all categories of petroleum products. Moreover, the outlook is that permitting restraints and technical limitations will make it more...
This report examines the USGC refinery capacities and concludes that there is no spare capacity for easily increasing the production to supply to the California's projected shortfalls. This section has a detailed analysis of the dynamics of alkylate production and availability in USGC. This is an important gasoline blend stock...
In this report, the Energy Commission projected total personal income, population, vehicle miles traveled, and demand for gasoline and diesel fuels. The report also presents forecasted prices for petroleum and refined products through 2020 (with an extrapolation through 2030). This report describes the methodology used in the current analysis and...
