White Energy Holding Company, LLC Settles For $122,087
In June 2024, the California Air Resources Board (CARB) reached a settlement with White Energy Holding Company, LLC (White Energy), with its principal location in Frisco, Texas 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 White Energy’s operational carbon intensity exceeded its certified carbon intensity. CARB documented the violations as they related to the LCFS Regulation. To settle the case, White Energy agreed to the penalty of $122,087. Of the total amount, $61,087 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 $61,000 will fund the Supplemental Environmental Project (SEP) entitled Zero Emissions Farm and Garden Equipment. The project aims to replace the farm’s entire gas- and diesel-powered equipment and tool fleet with battery-powered electric alternatives, which will not only reduce greenhouse gas emissions, but will also demonstrate the use of highly effective tools for Sacramento County residents.
White Energy 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. Whtie Energy is now in compliance with CARB’s LCFS Regulation.
