CARB approves 12 new biodiesel and renewable diesel pathways

In California, the Air Resources Board has approved eight new biodiesel pathways and another four for renewable diesel under the Low Carbon Fuel Standard using its CA-GREET 2.0 model. The biodiesel pathways are for tallow, soy oil and UCO feedstocks produced at Delek Renewables’ facilities in Texas and Arkansas, two for REG’s Newton, Iowa biodiesel plant using UCO and distillers corn oil, while GeoGreen Biofuels received a provisional approval for Californian UCO. Diamond Green Diesel was granted the four renewable diesel pathways for UCO, soy oil, tallow and distillers corn oil at its Louisiana facility.
