In California, strong positive and negative reactions circulated in the wake of the decision by the California Air Resources Board to approve the Low Carbon Fuel Standard.
Critics and supporters alike focused almost exclusively on the impact on biofuels.
Kirk Haney, President and CEO, of jatropha pioneer SG Biofuels said “We applaud the California Air Resources Board for their strong action in support of renewable energy use and the reduction of carbon emissions in the State of California. Their action is both necessary and timely as industry and government works together to accelerate the production of viable, sustainable and cost effective alternative fuels.”
Craig Cox, Environmental Working Group said “California’s decision to move ahead with a low carbon fuel standard is an important step forward in our fight to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. We hope California’s action will unleash the creativity of entrepreneurs and the marketplace to bring on board new vehicle technology and truly climate-friendly biofuels.”
