Calculation Methodology Calculation Methodology Calculation Methodology

ARB will annually calculate a cost per unit CO2E, based on the following:

  • Total revenue requirement
  • Quantities of reported fuels and emissions
  • Emissions from specified fuels and

processes based on ARB’s inventory

  • Fuel emissions factors

ARB will calculate a Fee Rate for each fuel
