Subject: Bioenergy and Composting to support Sustainable Agriculture
Comment:
The California Organics Recycling Council (CORC) membership been instrumental in our state’s efforts to attain the recycling mandate of 50% waste diversion from landfills, required by the California Integrated Waste Management Act of 1989 (AB 939), and will remain critical to the attainment of future sustainable goals of 75% recycling and zero waste, and the implementation of AB 32. CORC fully supports the AB 939 statutory hierarchy of reducing, recycling, and composting. CORC has been supportive and engaged throughout the AB 32 Scoping Plan development and implementation process. Anaerobic digestion and composting are at the nexus of the AB 32 Scoping Plan adopted measures where organic wastes are diverted from landfilling to generate renewable energy and carbon negative fuel, and where quality organic compost is produced and returned to sustainable agriculture. Specifically, CRRA has recommended investments in the following: • Sustainable Agriculture Investment: Organic Compost Use Fund • Compost Investment: Emission Reduction Credit Reimbursement (ERC) Fund • Compost Investment: BACT Compost Technology Incentive Payment • Biomethane Investment: Food Waste to Anaerobic Digestion Technology Incentive Payment • Reauthorization of AB 118
