California’s Air Resources Board (CARB) proposed on Tuesday October 1 that it should include sunflower oil into its earlier proposal to limit credit eligibility on certain virgin crop-based feedstocks used to produce biomass-based diesel (BBD), Fastmarkets has heard.
CARB is also proposing to tweak the data range for triggering the Automatic Acceleration Mechanism (AAM).
