LCFS - Develop an API from LCFS to TFRS

[airinggov]

Describe the task
Develop an API from LCFS (Low Carbon Fuels System) to TFRS (Transportation Fuels Reporting System) to pull the available credit balance from LCFS into TFRS when a user is creating a new compliance or supplemental report in TFRS. The balance must account for any commitments to credit transfers or future report reductions in LCFS.

Purpose
To provide accurate and up-to-date credit balance information in TFRS during the creation of compliance or supplemental reports, ensuring users have the necessary information to meet requirements or calculate potential penalties.

Acceptance Criteria

• The API successfully pulls the available credit balance from LCFS to TFRS when a BCeID user creates a compliance or supplemental report.
• The available credit balance is adjusted for any commitments in the LCFS portal, including credit transfers and future report reductions.
• The compliance year of the report needs to be sent to LCFS to properly query their available credit balance.
• The credit balance is displayed in TFRS to aid users in understanding their available units and calculating any penalties if their balance is below zero.
• The API is triggered only when a new compliance or supplemental report is initiated by a BCeID user.

Developer Requirements

• Setup Redis in TFRS with a cross namespace url

Additional context

• Ensure the pulled balance reflects real-time commitments in LCFS to avoid discrepancies.
• The balance displayed in TFRS should help the user assess compliance and potential penalties before submitting the report.
