My name is Brandon Friend, and I am a Site Director at Vopak. 
Vopak provides storage and infrastructure solutions at ports around
the world.  Vopak operates at several ports in California, and we
urge the Board to adopt a resolution that would involve amending
the LCFS regulations to allow for credit generation of methanol as
a marine fuel.  There are significant opportunities to generate
low-carbon methanol and we believe that our existing infrastructure
could quickly support methanol as a marine fuel.  Providing LCFS
credits would at least speed implementation of this opportunity to
reduce greenhouse gas emissions as well as emissions of traditional
pollutants.  We hope the Board will take this important step today
and that any amendments can be adopted in a timely manner.  Thank
you for allowing me to provide these brief comments remotely.
