California Air Resources Board shows renewable diesel and biodiesel GHG reductions

In California, newly-released data from the California Air Resources Board shows that low carbon transportation fuels powering internal combustion engines deliver the state’s biggest reduction in transportation-related sources of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions.  Biodiesel and renewable diesel fuel are the biggest carbon cutting technologies from the transportation sector, edging out ethanol and beating the benefits of electrified cars, trucks and buses by 3:1, according to the Diesel Technology Forum. The California Air Resources Board estimates that biobased diesel fuel has grown from about 16 million gallons in 2011 to nearly 1 billion gallons in 2020.
