RFA wants CARB to adjust ILUC analysis to reflect real world scenario

In Washington, the Renewable Fuels Association has again called on the California Air Resource Board to adjust its current indirect land use change (ILUC) analysis to better reflect real-world land use patterns. In written comments submitted on Friday, RFA’s Geoff Cooper highlighted a recently-released study from Iowa State University’s Center for Agricultural and Rural Development that exposes the implausibility of CARB’s current ILUC predictions. Cooper called on CARB to “take into account the new CARD/ISU research and use it to immediately re-calibrate” the agency’s ILUC model.
