A fuel stabilizer formulation includes a hybrid component that acts as an antioxidant, a chelating agent, and lubricant when added to the fuel, one or more vapor suppressants, and a water scavenger. Furthermore, the formulation may include components that bond with gasoline compounds to prevent evaporation of low-end components, form a layer along with the engine metal that prevents condensed water from corroding the metal, prevent corroded metal ions from destabilizing gasoline compounds into resin, and scavenge water to prevent water deposits at the bottom of the tank which limits biological activity, resulting in an overall improvement in oxidation stability over conventional fuel stabilizers.

Systems and methods to provide low carbon intensity (CI) transportation fuels through one or more targeted reductions of carbon emissions based upon an analysis of carbon emissions associated with a combination of various options for feedstock procurement, feedstock refining, processing, or transformation, and fuel product distribution pathways to end users. Such options are selected to maintain the total CI (carbon emissions per unit energy) of the transportation fuel below a pre-selected threshold that defines an upper limit of CI for the transportation fuel.
