Opportunity Title:
Procedures for Quantification, Reporting, and Verification of Greenhouse Gas Emissions Associated With the Production of Domestic Agricultural Commodities Used as Biofuel Feedstocks
Funder/Agency:
Department of Agriculture (USDA)
Description:
The purpose of the RFI is to understand procedures for quantifying, reporting, and verifying the effect of climate-smart farming practices on the greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions associated with U.S.-grown biofuel feedstock crops. The input will inform a potential USDA rulemaking to establish voluntary standards for biofuel feedstocks grown with practices that mitigate GHG emissions and/or sequester soil carbon. These standards would be available for consideration by international, national, or state clean transportation fuel policies to further incentivize climate-smart biofuel feedstock crops.
USDA’s RFI is seeking feedback on topics including:
Biofuel feedstock crops and practices for consideration in USDA’s analysis.
Scientific data, information, and analysis for consideration in quantifying the GHG emissions outcomes of climate-smart agricultural practices and conventional farming practices.
Records, documentation, and data necessary to provide sufficient evidence to verify practice adoption and maintenance.
Systems used to trace feedstocks throughout the biofuel supply chain.
Third-party verification of practice adoption and maintenance.
Eligibility:
Unrestricted
Deadline:
RFI Submission Due July 26, 2024
