In California, Aemetis, Inc. announced strong support for the updated Low Carbon Fuel Standard proposal and strongly urges its adoption by the California Air Resources Board at its meeting on November 8, 2024.
“CARB has shown that the LCFS is a highly effective program to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and improve air quality in California,” stated Eric McAfee, Chairman and CEO of Aemetis. “We look forward to the adoption of 20 years of new LCFS goals which support the decarbonization of transportation in California while also generating new jobs and billions of dollars of investment. Working together, CARB, unions, agriculture, industry, and impacted communities can strengthen the LCFS and create positive outcomes for California’s citizens and the state’s environment. We applaud CARB’s staff for their work and urge the Board to quickly adopt the updated LCFS,” added McAfee.
The updated LCFS supports CARB’s goals for 2045, which are expected to improve air quality for disadvantaged communities located near air pollution emissions sources, reduce greenhouse gas emissions by 85%, create more than 4 million jobs, and save Californians billions of dollars in health costs associated with pollution.
