Bioproducts, made from re-manufacturing organic residuals into
marketable commodities, is the essence of renewable carbon
management.  The Proposed Short Lived Climate Pollutant Reduction
Strategy is an important next step in establishing the renewable
carbon economy in California.  

This attached paper "Bioproducts - A Market Assessment Framework,"
provides a whole systems, market-based approach, to managing the
renewable carbon contained within all categories of organic
residuals.  By not letting them rot (anaerobically)in manure piles
and landfills and thereby creating fugitive methane, the direct
re-manufacturing will reuse those carbon compounds beneficially,
while enhancing the economy and protecting the environment.

To accomplish this strategy will require setting up a new market
assessment process so that organics generators (local communities
and agricultural businesses), technology developers, market
developers and investors can all speak a common scientifically
grounded, market data-based language. In this way, Californians can
co-invest in developing a new renewable economy as a
community-based sustainable alternative to the current wasting
economy.

Noble Resources Group has already started building a database with
its clients to begin implementing this approach throughout
California, and beyond.  We look forward to working with ARB to use
it in collaboration with ARB to help support SLCP Strategy
implementation.
