California Air Resources Board

The American Biogas Council (ABC) is pleased to submit the following comments to the California Air Resources Board (CARB) related to the March 23, 2026 Climate Disclosure Workshop.

The ABC is the voice of the U.S. biogas industry, with over 400 member companies in all parts of the biogas supply chain. We work to create the regulatory, policy, and economic conditions that will catalyze development of new biogas systems, thus creating jobs, adding new sources of revenue for farmers and rural towns, cultivating energy independence and security, reducing emissions, increasing circularity, and stimulating growth of the bioeconomy in North America. Through the natural process of anaerobic digestion, biogas systems recycle organic waste materials into a host of sustainable agriculture and renewable energy products, including biomethane, which serves as a drop-in substitute for natural gas or can also be used to create advanced fuels such as maritime fuels.

Thank you for your consideration of the comments herein. The ABC and its members welcome the opportunity to answer questions or provide clarification where needed.
