| Comment | Chairman Nichols, Western Plains Energy, LLC (WPE) is a Kansas-based sorghum ethanol producer. WPE feels that sorghum has an important role to play in helping California meet the greenhouse gas reduction goals set by the LCFS and reducing water usage on irrigated acres. We have a strong affiliation with the National Sorghum Producers (NSP) and understand they are submitting comments as well. As NSP does, we applaud the ARB for its update of the LCFS and appreciate its special attention to sorghum iLUC, sorghum fertilizer requirements and N2O emissions from sorghum stover. We also recommend that the ARB focus attention on information related to sorghum root:shoot ratios, and as it becomes available and incorporate this information into future versions of CA-GREET. Thank you for the opportunity to comment. With Kindest Regards, Derek Peine Chief Executive Officer Western Plains Energy Oakley, KS |
