The California Air Resources Board plans to cap the share of Low Carbon Fuel Standard credits that can come from crop oils over land-use change concerns. The Giannini Foundation analysis expects small short-run effects on fuel prices but a larger negative impact on Midwestern biofuel producers that rely on crop oils.
A cap on crop-oil LCFS credits would reduce the value of soybean oil and canola-based biofuel feedstock, weighing on vegetable oil demand and prices.
