Biobased Diesel Made up 27% of All On-Road Diesel Fuel Sold in California in 2019
by Ron Kotrba (Biobased Diesel Daily) California Air Resources Board released 2019 greenhouse gas (GHG) inventory data July 28, indicating transportation emissions continue to decline in the Golden State thanks in large part to biobased diesel fuel. The state’s use of renewable diesel jumped 61 percent in 2019 under the Low Carbon Fuel Standard, according to CARB. As a result, biodiesel and renewable diesel made up 27 percent of all on-road diesel fuel sold in the state in 2019, displacing nearly 900 million gallons of petroleum diesel and reducing carbon dioxide by 17 million metric tons that year.
