3rd party CI verification of the base plant in progress to verify the current diesel CI of near 100 which can be further reduced to by 25 with Biosyngas
(25%) and 20 with CCUS. CI studies are ongoing with the use of raw field gas, Biosyngas and the production of renewable diesel as pathways to
further decarbonize fuel and reduce CI. The chart represents management estimates at January 2022.

* Decisions on how to meet
California's demand for H2
will be
driven by the market. This includes
considerations about how the H2
is transported (e.g., rail, pipeline,
ship) and the form in which it
will be distributed, whether as a
compressed gas, a cryogenic liquid
or using a carrier medium (e.g.,
ammonia or methanol).5,6

A workshop was held in March 2021
by two Canadian economic development
groups (Edmonton Global and Alberta's
Industrial Heartland Association) to address
California's H2
market potential.
Participants included key California stakeholders,
such as the California governor's
office, energy commission and the California
Hydrogen Business Council. The
key takeaways from the workshop were:
* California plans a shift to zero36

* Low-carbon H2

Carseland was proposed. Kitimat, as
shown on the map in FIG. 9, is located on
Canada's west coast and provides access
to multiple export routes. Beyond that,
several synergies confirmed the suitable
selection of this location:
* First Canadian LNG project
is located at Kitimat
* Local workforce, infrastructure and
expertise available coincidently
from above-mentioned project
* Natural gas available from the
Western Transmission Gas
Line, which has a capacity of
3,500 MMft3
d; only a fraction of
that amount would be needed
* Marine export through the
Douglas Channel has precedent,
established by LNG carriers
* Compressed H2
ships can be
fueled with LNG or H2
* In addition to export possibilities,
British Columbia has strong
local demand for low-carbon
marine FT diesel and FT jet fuel
* The Haisla nation has potential
interest in participating.
