ARB applauds EPA’s renewable fuels announcement

SACRAMENTO:  In response to the announcement made today by EPA
regarding the Renewable Fuels Standard, Mary D. Nichols, chairman
of the California Air Resources Board, made the following
statement:

"The California Air Resources Board applauds the EPA for its
efforts to conduct a thorough assessment of the climate-related
impacts of renewable fuels.  It is notable that both the EPA, and
CARB have determined that sound science compels the consideration
of land use change in any lifecycle analysis of the greenhouse
gas impacts of fuels.  While our regulatory programs differ
somewhat, we look forward to working closely with the EPA and
with the National Academy of Sciences to continue evaluating the
lifecycle analysis of fuels.  CARB fully stands behind the
President’s call for a comprehensive energy and climate bill that
will include biofuels and other next-generation alternative fuels
to help lower greenhouse gas emissions and drive the development
of clean energy jobs and technologies."

The Air Resources Board is a department of the California
Environmental Protection Agency.  ARB’s mission is to promote and
protect public health, welfare, and ecological resources through
effective reduction of air pollutants while recognizing and
considering effects on the economy.  The ARB oversees all air
pollution control efforts in California to attain and maintain
health based air quality standards.
