Subject: LCFS Workshop Comment for Loci Controls Inc. RE: Reducing Landfill Gas Emissions
Comment:
Dear Dr. Laskowski, On behalf of Loci Controls, Inc. ("Loci"), I am writing to recommend that due to the urgent necessity of achieving short-lived climate pollutant ("SLCP") emission reductions, the California Air Resources Board ("CARB") should recognize a new methodology to reduce methane emissions from large landfills within CARB's life cycle analysis ("LCA") modeling for the Low Carbon Fuel Standard program ("LCFS"). The specific methodology recommended here has been fully approved by the American Carbon Registry ("ACR"). It is referenced as the "Methodology for the Quantification Monitoring, Reporting and Verification of Greenhouse Gas Emission Reductions and Removals from Landfill Gas Destruction and Beneficial Use Projects, version 2.0." (hereafter the "ACR LFG Methodology"). CARB's direct integration of the ACR LFG Methodology into the LCFS, or CARB's development of an analogue in the LCFS to the ACR LFG Methodology will spur the use of innovative SLCP technologies that can be broadly implemented and thereby provide substantial additional reductions of SLCP emissions. Thus this recommended integration is fully aligned with CARB's priorities, and is replicable at multiple landfills across California and the United States. The complete comment with the ACR methodology and data is attached. Please contact me for any questions or follow-up. Best Regards, Graham Noyes Noyes Law Corporation for Loci Controls, Inc. fuelandcarbonlaw.com
