State Low Carbon & Clean Fuel Programs
- NOPA supports Low Carbon and Clean Fuel programs in the states such as California’s Low Carbon Fuel Standard (LCFS) which drives demand for biodiesel, renewable diesel and sustainable aviation fuel (SAF), and encourages investment in low carbon feedstocks and value-added agricultural opportunities.
- Biomass based diesel (BBD) is the largest domestically produced and commercially available fuel to meet the Environmental Protection Agency’s (EPA) definition of an advanced biofuel under the RFS and provides one of the best carbon-reduction strategies for diesel engines available with today’s vehicle technologies.
- NOPA strongly opposes proposals to artificially cap vegetable oil feedstocks which lead to more combustion of fossil diesel fuel, higher prices at the pump and poorer air quality.
- NOPA continues to monitor and engage in the implementation of the New Mexico Clean Fuel Standard, the Washington Clean Fuel Standard, and the Oregon Clean Fuels Program.
