California’s low-carbon fuel standard will remain in effect, a state appeals court provisionally ruled in a lawsuit challenging the regulation by U.S. ethanol producer Poet LLC.
Poet, the second-largest U.S. maker of the corn-based fuel, argued that the standard, which requires transportation fuel-sellers in California to reduce the “carbon intensity” of their products by 10 percent by 2020, should be held invalid because regulators approved it before completing an environmental review.
