Scott Petroleum, Inc. Settles For $25,000
In June 2024, the California Air Resources Board (CARB) reached a settlement with Scott Petroleum, Inc. (SPI), with its principal location in Greenville, Mississippi 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 the submitted report, CARB staff discovered that SPI’s operational carbon intensity exceeded its certified carbon intensity. CARB documented the violations as they related to the LCFS Regulation.
To settle the case, SPI agreed to the penalty of $25,000. Of the total amount, $12,500 will be deposited into CARB’s Air Pollution Control Fund, which provides funding for projects and research to improve California’s air quality. The remaining amount of $12,500 will fund the Supplemental Environmental Project (SEP) entitled Cleaner Air Greener Schools, which will provide indoor air quality sensors, air purifiers, and outdoor air quality sensors for 5 classrooms in 10 schools in the Los Angeles region’s disadvantaged communities.
SPI 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. SPI is now in compliance with CARB’s LCFS Regulation.
