California Public Resources Code Section 25301 requires the California Energy Commission to prepare an Integrated Energy Policy Report every two years that includes assessments and forecasts of all aspects of energy industry supply, production, transportation, delivery and distribution, demand, and prices. The Energy Commission uses these assessments and forecasts to provide an analytic foundation for developing energy policies that conserve resources, protect the environment, ensure energy reliability, enhance the state's economy, and protect public health and safety.
This report looks at information collected by the Energy Commission through its Petroleum Industry Information Reporting Act regulations for analyzing trends in liquid fuel production, storage, and distribution. Energy Commission staff developed new metrics using aggregated data collected by this regulation to help inform the California public on the operations of liquid transportation fuels supply chains. In addition, staff analyzed several other data sources to provide a more comprehensive discussion of California’s liquid transportation fuel issues.
Report topics include:
California, United States, and world crude oil production. Refinery operations and crude oil utilization. Production of liquid transportation fuels. Import and export volumes of liquid transportation fuels for Northern and Southern California. Liquid biofuel production and feedstock utilization. Industry regulatory changes and issues.
