Proposed regulations to update California’s Low Carbon Fuel Standard (LCFS) are “fundamentally flawed” and could lead to a market upheaval for low-carbon fuels across the state, the Renewable Fuels Association (RFA) said in comments to the California Air Resources Board (CARB).
The RFA’s comments to the CARB, dated Wednesday October 16, underscore the groups’ previously submitted statements that renewable fuel producers and California consumers will be negatively impacted if CARB moves ahead with its proposed amendments to the LCFS that include new sustainability requirements and an “arbitrary” new method for assigning land use change penalties.
“This proposal is completely disconnected from reality and, if finalized, will very likely result in shortages of low-carbon fuels and higher fuel prices for California consumers,” Geoff Cooper, RFA president and chief executive officer, said.
