Soybean farmers welcome CARB’s updated guidances on LCFS sustainability guardrails

July 15, 2026 |

In Missouri, the American Soybean Association welcomed the California Air Resources Board’s (CARB) release of updated implementation guidance for the Low Carbon Fuel Standard (LCFS) Sustainability Guardrails, an important step toward providing the regulatory certainty needed to support U.S. soybean farmers and the renewable fuels industry.

The updated guidance answers several implementation questions raised by ASA, through the Biomass-Based Diesel Initiative, and other stakeholders by confirming that fuel producers can demonstrate compliance using practical supply chain documentation and mass balance accounting, rather than tracing soybeans back to individual fields. The approach provides a more practical path to compliance while maintaining the LCFS’s strong sustainability standards.
