Fulfilling pledges that the United States and hundreds of other countries made at the breakthrough Paris Climate Summit in 2015 calls for exponential change in how we deal with CO
2. The planet currently releases around 40 gigatons of carbon into the atmosphere every year. To meet the Paris Agreement’s 1.5 degrees Celsius goal, the planet needs to reach net-zero greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions by 2050. The Biden-Harris administration has just committed to a 50+ percent reduction in CO
“Over the past three years ACE has been mobilizing support for clean fuels policies in the
Midwest, and we are grateful the bipartisan Minnesota Future Fuels Act, which follows the policy blueprint we have recommended, has been adopted by the
Minnesota House of Representatives and has received continued interest during this legislative session,” Jennings said.
“We commend Minnesota leaders for recognizing the economic development benefits this legislation would bring to the state, while increasing ethanol demand and providing incentives for farmers for climate-smart practices.
“We’re at the cusp of additional clean fuels legislative activity in other states and Congress and believe Minnesota should be the model so farmers and biofuel producers are considered part of the climate solution,” Jennings added.
(Renewable Fuels Association) The Renewable Fuels Association today submitted feedback related to a planned expansion of the Oregon Clean Fuels Program. The Oregon CFP currently requires a 10% reduction in the carbon intensity (CI) of transportation fuels by 2025, and the state intends to expand the reductions to 20% by 2030 and 25% by 2035.
In anticipation of the expansion, Oregon’s Department of Environmental Quality recently released a set of illustrative scenarios showing different ways that compliance in 2030 and 2035 could be achieved. While RFA believes the program has been effective and supports its expansion, the association identified some areas of concern related to specific aspects of the scenarios.
