Subject: Kore Infrastructure leverages LCFS to help solve pressing environmental challenges in CA
Comment:
Kore Infrastructure has developed technology to convert biogenic waste into carbon negative, renewable energy in the form of biogas, renewable natural gas, renewable hydrogen, and biocarbon (a soil amendment or coal substitute.) We are operating a commercial scale demonstration facility (24 tons/day) in downtown Los Angeles at a site owned by SoCalGas. The facility is fully permitted and supported by the South Coast Air Quality Management District. Kore technology is able to help solve two of California's most pressing challenges: 1. beneficial use of agricultural residues and forest thinning biomass in a manner that doesn't generate greenhouse gases (and in many applications is carbon negative.) 2. producing low carbon intensity fuels to decarbonize California transportation. This technology is engineered and manufactured in California and can be rapidly deployed as standard, skid-mounted units to provide distributed waste management and renewable energy production. We support the LCFS program, the extension of the LCFS carbon intensity schedule to 2045, and an increase in the rate of carbon intensity reductions. We also look forward to engagement on the issues relating to hydrogen as these are more fully developed in the rulemaking process. As we transition from demonstration to commercialization, the business case for our solution is greatly enhanced by the LCFS program.
