Coalition to Fix the LCFS
Fix the Low Carbon Fuel Standard - Stand Strong for Environmental Justice, Clean Air and a Stable Climate

On behalf of 50 cross-sectoral public interest organizations across the country, we respectfully submit the attached comments urging the California Air Resources Board to fix the Low Carbon Fuel Standard. Our organizations remain concerned that, as the Staff proposal stands, the LCFS will continue to drive investments toward false climate solutions that perpetuate environmental injustice across the country and undermine CARB's efforts to transform our transportation system toward truly zero-emissions solutions.

The Board's guiding light should be to use the program to support the advancements that make CARB a world leader in air and climate action.

Doing so means:
-Ending lavish incentives to factory farms across the country to produce methane and factory farm gas that California does not need.
-Capping the unfettered rise of biofuels, which pose grave risks to our climate and ecosystems, and which are driving a glut of credits that is weighing down the program.
-Enhancing support for truly zero-emissions solutions.
-Not relying on offset projects like direct air capture and factory farm gas to decarbonize the transportation sector, as this is a way for the oil industry to justify its continued operations and pollution in communities.

We ask that you prioritize the health of communities and the climate first and fix the LCFS.
