Low carbon fuel policies are intended to reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions from transportation. However, rigid carbon intensity (CI) accounting procedures in current policies may limit CI responsiveness across candidate sites and facilities. This study examines how low carbon fuel programs capture or overlook spatial variability and net electricity production in biofuel carbon intensity, influencing crediting outcomes and fuel selling prices.

Digital twins for automated material handling systems (AMHSs) of semiconductor and display fabrication industries suffer from parameter uncertainty and discrepancy. This leads to inaccurate predictions, ultimately affecting performance. To address this, researchers have developed a new Bayesian calibration framework that simultaneously accounts for both parameter uncertainty and discrepancy, improving the prediction accuracy of digital twin models. This innovative framework holds great potential for enhancing digital twin applicability across diverse industries.
