Dear CARB Staff, Thank you for the opportunity to comment on the proposed Tier 1 dairy and swine manure (DSM) Calculator. We have taken in interest in Low Carbon Fuel Standard (LCFS) programs throughout the United States and appreciate the opportunity to provide feedback on California's LCFS regulation. CARB's exclusion of N2O emissions in the proposed DSM calculator represents a missed opportunity to leverage emissions reductions in the livestock sectors. By allowing for avoided N2O and methane emissions from poultry farming, CARB can create incentives for emissions reductions in this important livestock category. Including default co-product credits for the benefits of displaced fertilizer represents an additional opportunity to reduce agricultural emissions. We appreciate the opportunity to provide feedback and contribute to the ongoing efforts to address agricultural emissions and mitigate environmental challenges. We believe that by including N2O emissions from manure management and allowing avoided emissions from poultry farming, CARB can unlock substantial potential for reducing greenhouse gas emissions in the agricultural sector. Thank you for your time and consideration in advancing sustainable solutions and working towards a greener future for California. |
