are expanded which created 640 megawatts of new renewable energy capacity Emission rates and standards in preference for low-carbon sources of electricity have been adopted by Senate Bill 1368 10 dairy digesters have been installed across California, which generate 2.5 megawatts of electrical power from dairy manure or a mixture of manure, food-wastes and wastewater Specialty crops (figs and barley) are being converted to energy New waste discharge regulations for dairies and dairy lagoons have been adopted 2009 11% of electricity consumed comes from renewable resources Nearly 20% of renewable electricity generated came from biomass fuels 943 megawatts of biopower generated Three idled biomass plants have resumed operations One idled coal facility and two working coal facilities have been converted to biomass plants 309 megawatts of landfill gas has been generated to electricity biopower 66 megawatts digester gas biopower generated One billion gallons of 6% ethanol consumed yet only 5.7% produced within California 50 million gallons of biodiesel consumed yet only 12% produced within California 2010 biopower and biofuel production via biomass targets are evaluated as “unlikely” Adopted low-carbon fuel standard for reducing greenhouse gas emissions by 10% by 2020 2011 Bioenergy Action Plan Less than 40 actions out of the 63 initial actions from the 2006 plan were completed by the time the 2011 plan was developed/adjusted. The 2006 plan was reviewed at two public workshops on June 3, 2010, and December 14, 2010. The new version of the plan was changed accordingly to assure complete coordination with the goals targeted in California Governor Jerry Brown's Clean Energy Job Plan and the Clean Energy Future Plan. The 2011 plan extends the 20% renewable electricity production with California to 2013 instead of the 2010 goal, with a 33% renewable electricity goal by 2020. Fuel-related refineries, blenders, producers and importers are expected to reduce their carbon emissions by 10% by 2020. The production of 21 billion gallons of biofuels is projected for 2022. As with the 2006 plan, each state agency has its own individual set of goals and responsibilities. The 2011 Bioenergy Plan objectives are outlined as: Increase bioenergy production at existing facilities including restarting idling plants and repowering existing facilities. Construct new bioenergy facilities. Integrate bioenergy facilities with the use of multiple fuels in collection, processing, and treatment operations. Commercialize conversion technologies by funding research and development. Remove regulatory hurdles and streamline processes. References Environment of California Biofuel in
