The California Air Resources Board is proposing a 20 percent cap on biofuels made from canola and soybean oil for the state’s low-carbon fuel standard. U.S. Canola Association Executive Director Tom Hance said the proposal could result in a greater reliance on foreign feedstocks for biofuels. “We don’t see any data or science that justifies imposing this cap.” With a growing demand for biofuels, Hance sees an opportunity for expanded canola production with winter canola.
