The challenge

As a mid-sized operator, the distributor faced pressure to demonstrate environmental credentials to retail customers while controlling costs. They'd heard of LCFS credits but assumed participation was only practical for large fleets or national accounts. The real question was whether the economics would work at their scale.

The solution

With 44 REMs installed on their electric forklift chargers, the distributor entered the LCFS program with a streamlined setup. Anvil's REMs captured energy data without any process changes, and credit generation began immediately after installation.
