Share

JEFFERSON CITY, MO - Clean Fuels Alliance America along with the California Advanced Biofuels Alliance (CABA) submitted formal comments to the California Air Resources Board (CARB) following the agency's recent public forum on biofuels and land use change.

In its filing, Clean Fuels emphasized the importance of using the most accurate science to inform land use change modeling and policy decisions under California's Low Carbon Fuel Standard (LCFS). The comments highlight substantial improvements in agricultural productivity, updated economic and carbon modeling and the need for regulatory approaches that reflect real-world environmental outcomes.

"Our members represent the majority of the clean diesel fuel used in California today, and we remain committed to working collaboratively with CARB to ensure the LCFS continues to deliver real, near-term emissions reductions," said Cory-Ann Wind, Director of State Regulatory Affairs for Clean Fuels. "Modernizing land use change modeling is a critical step toward aligning policy with today's data and market realities."

Clean Fuels and CABA urged CARB to initiate a land use change model modernization effort in 2026, maintain appropriate treatment of waste-based feedstocks and provide clarity for emerging oilseed crops that can deliver additional climate benefits without expanding cropland.
