The California Biodiesel Alliance Presents the 2016
CBA’s fifth annual conference will focus on the new era of regulatory stability for biodiesel in California created by the re-adoption of the Low Carbon Fuel Standard (LCFS) and the adoption of the Alternative Diesel Fuel Regulation (ADF).
The conference will also highlight our industry's efforts to work in coalition to seek funding from Cap and Trade proceeds for the low carbon biofuels that are available here and now as key options as the state works to reach its climate solutions goals.
We are excited to bring experts to share how our recent legislative success will boost the market; what strategic alliances — here and in the region — mean for biodiesel’s future possibilities; the latest on federal regulations, feedstocks, and much more!
An absolute must
for anyone doing or wanting to do business in California!
