| Comment |
The Center for Biological Diversity appreciates CARB's
consideration of various pathways as it develops a plan to
decarbonize the cement industry per the mandate in Senate Bill 596
("SB 596"). We are concerned, however, that CARB may unnecessarily
rely on carbon capture and storage ("CCS") as part of its plan,
when in fact, CCS is a false solution that overpromises and
underdelivers on its greenhouse gas ("GHG") capture potential, all
while putting communities and the environment at risk. Instead,
CARB should focus on the suite of viable strategies--such as
alternative inputs, electrification, fuel-switching, and
nature-based carbon dioxide removal--that, when deployed together,
could achieve SB 596's both short- and long-term goals for the
industry.
Our full comment letter is attached. Please note that we also will
upload references cited in this letter in a .zip file titled, "Ctr.
Biol Div Refs Cement 11.22.22," for CARB's consideration and for
inclusion in the public record.
