The LCFS aims to reduce emissions in the transportation sector by limiting the carbon intensity of fuels used reducing the state’s greenhouse gas emissions. The ARB also created a market to trade them on, ultimately creating economic incentives to accelerate change. In the LCFS market, low carbon intensive fuel producers can register to produce LCFS credits for the amount of fuel dispensed. High carbon intensive fuel producers or distributors must offset emissions by purchasing these LCFS credits to offset deficits they create unde the same program. 

If that sounds confusing for companies whose expertise is not dealing with government programs or calculating their carbon emission offsets, e-Mission Control is here. They have built a software platform to help companies learn how to track and manage their fleet, earn revenue from LCFS credits, and reduce emissions without additional administration headaches. They have expertise on the LCFS, fleet technology, and impact on companies. They represent hundreds of facilities across the state utilizing their My-eMC platform.

Their success has enabled them to close a fundraising round rapidly and move to continue expansion and develop additional value-adds for fleets. As we have highlighted before, and our recent CleanStart Perspectives with Sabya Das highlights, raising significant funds relies on having validation and a plan. Trauman highlights investors understood how customers valued their work and recognized their growth path. This didn’t happen overnight. e-Mission Control’s parent company is Momentum with decades of experience with the CEC, ARB, and many other  entrepreneurial and innovation support institutions in the state. The connections they’ve built enabled them to build a better product and show customers, investors, partners, and agencies they were listening and responding to build a sustainable business.
