Comment |
Calgren Renewable Fuels is a California fuel ethanol producer engaged in efforts to use more sorghum as feedstock. We feel sorghum has an important role to play in helping our state meet carbon reductions goals embodied in the LCFS. As an added benefit, sorghum significantly reduces water usage. We understand the National Sorghum Producers (NSP) are submitting comments and encouraging you to consider revising several sorghum metrics. We have worked closely with NSP and respect their professionalism. NSP believes the values you propose to use for sorghum yield, sorghum nitrogen application rate, and sorghum stover nitrogen content are outdated or otherwise incorrect. In particular, I am told the sorghum stover nitrogen content figure you propose to use in CA-GREET 2.0 is based on data that is not representative of modern commercial sorghum production. Thus we endorse NSP's proposed changes. Given it's substantial benefits for Californians, sorghum deserves a fair shake. Thank you for giving us the opportunity to comment. Very truly yours, Lyle Schlyer President, Calgren Renewable Fuels |
