California's Low Carbon Fuel Standard may unintentionally promote crop-based diesel, threatening rainforests and food production.

California's Low Carbon Fuel Standard, designed to support lower-carbon fuels for transportation, could lead to increased reliance on crop-based biofuels, threatening rainforest destruction and diverting farmland from food production. A proposed amendment to the standard may inadvertently promote diesel production from crops rather than waste and residues, thus negating its environmental benefits.
