Dear California Air Resources Board
As a college student living in San Francisco and someone deeply
concerned about the future of our climate and frontline
communities, I appreciate the opportunity to submit my public
comment regarding the Third Notice of Modified Text for the Low
Carbon Fuel Standard (LCFS) Amendments.
While I support California's efforts to reduce carbon intensity in
the transportation sector, I urge CARB to prioritize true
zero-emission solutions over transitional or unproven technologies
like hydrogen produced with carbon capture and sequestration (CCS).
Allowing fossil-based hydrogen with CCS to count toward renewable
hydrogen requirements risks prolonging dependence on fossil fuel
infrastructure, which harms air quality.
I respectfully ask that CARB make all regulatory documents and
amendments accessible in plain language to support public
understanding and meaningful participation. The complexity of the
tracked changes and APA formatting poses a barrier for students,
working people, and non-technical community members trying to stay
informed and advocate for equitable policy.
Please ensure this amendment process upholds climate justice,
centers public health, and avoids greenwashing technologies that
benefit fossil fuel companies more than frontline Californians.
