SB88

Air resources: carbon emissions: biomass.

Vetoed·10/3/25

California SB88 aims to reduce carbon emissions by promoting the use of forest and agricultural biomass resources for low-carbon fuel alternatives.

California SB88 seeks to address the growing issue of air pollution and climate pollution caused by wildfires and biomass burning. The bill mandates the State Air Resources Board to assess life-cycle emissions from alternative uses of forest and agricultural biomass residues, considering wildfire and management actions. It also requires the publication of a comprehensive strategy to support beneficial carbon removal products generated from these biomass resources.
