Arkalon Ethanol, LLC Settles For $50,000
In March 2024, the California Air Resources Board (CARB) reached a settlement with Arkalon Ethanol, LLC (Arkalon), with its principal location in Liberal, Kansas for the company’s violation of CARB’s Low Carbon Fuel Standard Regulation (LCFS Regulation), as specified in California Code of Regulations, title 17, section 95494 et seq.
Each fuel pathway holder must submit an annual fuel pathway report to CARB. Upon review of Arkalon’s submitted report, CARB staff discovered that the company’s operational carbon intensity exceeded its certified carbon intensity. CARB documented the violations as they related to the LCFS Regulation. To settle the case, Arkalon agreed to the penalty of $50,000. It will be deposited into CARB’s Air Pollution Control Fund, which provides funding for projects and research to improve California’s air quality.
Arkalon fully cooperated with CARB in the resolution of this matter, and worked with its partners to retire credits erroneously generated as a result of reporting fuels with inaccurate carbon intensity. Arkalon is now in compliance with CARB’s LCFS Regulation.
