CARB advances Low Carbon Fuel Standard towards finalization, affirms biodiesel, renewable diesel’s primacy as carbon-fighting tool

September 27, 2015 |

In California, the state Air Resources Board (CARB) has posted Response to Comments on the Low Carbon Fuel Standard Regulation here   and posted the final environmental analysis, responses to environmental analysis comments, and proposed final regulatory order here.

The National Biodiesel Board noted that CARB has affirmed biodiesel, America’s Advanced Biofuel, reduces greenhouse gas emissions by at least 50 percent and often by as much as 81 percent versus petroleum. This gives biodiesel the best carbon score among all liquid fuels.  “This is not an academic exercise. It’s where the rubber hits the road in determining where Californians get their fuels for the next 20 or 30 years,” said NBB’s Director of Sustainability Don Scott. “It’s the difference between continuing the status quo of oil dependence and stimulating the development of cleaner alternatives. CARB should be commended for its leadership and for taking a bold approach.  We are proud that biodiesel is part of the solution.”
