Subject | Cap the use of crop-based biofuels for LCFS compliance |
Comment | I write to call your attention to a serious risk that proposed revisions to the Low Carbon Fuel Standard currently being developed by CARB staff could have the unintended consequence of increasing greenhouse gas emissions, rather than lowering them, by driving a large increase in consumption of crop-based biofuels that result in greater emissions than petroleum-based transportation fuels. To prevent this perverse outcome, I urge CARB to establish a cap on the use of crop-based biofuels for LCFS compliance at 2022 levels while it revises its approach to calculating the Carbon Intensity of such fuels to properly account for their impacts on land use. Please see attachment for further details. |
