With respect to SAF, the government plans to scale up SAF production to at least 3 billion gallons per year by 2030. million to aid in evaluating the safety of new fuels, and over $61 million for projects to advance biofuels and support reduced cost of SAF pathways. Amazon Air purchased 6 million gallons of SAF.

In a previous blog post , I briefly reviewed some of the innovative strategies to reduce methane emissions from agricultural livestock and rice operations, which have the potential to combat a significant source of global greenhouse gas emissions. This appears to be the only national level agricultural methane target currently in law.

Under the LCFS each fuel pathway gets a unique carbon intensity (CI) based on a lifecycle analysis of the greenhouse gas emissions associated with the production and use of the fuel. The CI of an electric vehicle charged with solar power is zero, and most of the biofuels fall somewhere in the middle [i]. ii] O’Malley, J.,

By coincidence rather than design, two different approaches to reducing greenhouse gas emissions from the electric power sector have been under discussion by North Carolina agencies since 2021. The two approaches share goals of reducing greenhouse gas emissions 70% by 2030 (from a 2005 baseline) and achieving carbon neutrality by 2050.
