"The LCFS program has driven a significant portion of the methane reductions achieved thus far and remains critical to achieving the full 40% reduction sought. Tulare County's 49 digester projects are estimated to reduce methane emissions by 715,502 MTCO2e annually and 8,482,606 MTCO2e over the next 10 years."

"Stanislaus County’s dairy farm families have been partnering with the CDFA and CARB to install methane reduction projects on their dairies. In total, CDFA has invested more than $14.5 million in digester projects in Stanislaus County alone. Pulling the rug out from under these projects by restricting revenue streams counted on to finance and operate them is inconsistent with SB 1383 and will greatly harm the state’s and county’s overall climate efforts while eliminating jobs in the San Joaquin Valley."
