Sacramento Lunch Briefing On Low-Carbon Biofuel Policies For California

Planting Fuels CoverAs California commits itself to reducing greenhouse gas emissions from the transportation sector, what role will biofuels play as a petroleum alternative? And how can California ensure that more low-carbon biofuels are produced in-state, especially given the competition from cheap oil and cheap international biofuel?

State officials and biofuel producers will address these questions at a free legislative lunch briefing this Friday, January 22nd, in the Capitol. The event will also discuss findings from the recent UCLA/UC Berkeley Law report on ways to boost in-state biofuel production, “Planting Fuels: How California Can Boost Local, Low-Carbon Biofuel Production.”

The event will include the following speakers:

  • Lisa Mortenson, chief executive officer at Community Fuels
  • Tim Olson, energy and fuels program manager at the California Energy Commission
  • Cliff Rechtschaffen, senior adviser to Governor Brown
  • Floyd Vergara, industrial strategies division chief, California Air Resources Board

When: January 22, 2016, 12:00pm-1:30pm

Where: Governor’s Office large conference room, Capitol Building, Sacramento

Lunch will be served. More information can be found here. Please note space is limited, so register soon via this link.
