Growth Energy comments on CARB Scoping Plan
Summary
Growth Energy submitted comments on Friday to the California Air Resources Board on its draft 2022 Climate Change Scoping Plan, which lays out the path toward achieving the state’s carbon reduction goals. In its comments, Growth Energy highlighted the role higher blends of biofuels play in reducing greenhouse gas emissions, addressing air quality, and cutting consumer costs from current and future California vehicles. Ahead of the proposal, Growth Energy submitted comments to CARB in support of the environmental benefits of higher blends biofuels, which are saving American drivers almost a dollar per gallon at the pump. Growth Energy also recently submitted last month a detailed comment to CARB on the need for biofuels in order to decarbonize the transportation sector and reduce emissions in the existing and long-term fleet using liquid fuels. On June 10, 2022, Growth Energy’s Senior Vice President of Regulatory Affairs Chris Bliley testified before CARB in response to its proposed Advanced Clean Cars II regulation.
