| Description Program Srvc Accom | The Bioenergy Association of California provided significant policy advocacy in two proceedings at the California Public Utilities Commission, Rulemaking 11-05-005 (implementation of SB 1122) and Rulemaking 13-02-008 (implementation of AB 1900). We succeeded in providing extensive data and recommendations to the CPUC that positively influenced the Decision in Rulemaking 13-02-008 and the Final Staff Proposal on SB 1122. We provided extensive information and helped to educate state policymakers about the many benefits of bioenergy, particularly as a means to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, reduce landfilling of organic waste, and wildfire risks. We successfully convinced the Brown Administration to include bioenergy in several agencies' proposed investment plans for cap and trade proceeds and, we convinced the California Air Resources Board to include bioenergy in every major sector of the AB 32 Scoping Plan Update.We also helped to increase public awareness of, and support for, bioenergy by producing an op-ed on forest biomass (San Francisco Chronicle, September 6, 2013) providing quotes to the San Jose Mercury (November 12, 2013) and the Sacramento Bee (November 5, 2013). Our Executive Director spoke at numerous conferences, providing information and interviews to reporters and academic experts working on new articles or academic studies on bioenergy development. Those articles and studies are posted on our website to further disseminate infomercial about bioenergy, its benefits and challenges. | DescriptionProgramSrvcAccomTxt |
