政策立场

    • CHS does not support actions that would tie adoption of climate-smart practices to a farmer’s or rancher’s ability to participate in federally funded risk management programs, 比如农作物保险, 标题1商品程序(ARC/PLC), 乳制品毛利保险(DMC)或牲畜毛利保险.
    • 政策必须在地域、作物和放牧活动之间保持公平.
    • Policies must fully include early adapters who are already engaging in climate-smart practices.
    • CHS supports carbon reduction and conservation policies that keep land in production, 而不是土地退休计划(CRP).
    • CHS支持《澳门皇冠赌场平台》.
    • 美国农业部应该制定, 可信的, science-based criteria to account for the carbon sequestration and greenhouse gas reduction benefits of climate-smart agriculture practices.
    • 美国农业部应将气候智能型实践定义为:
      • Provide climate benefits, including increased sequestration and/or reduced greenhouse gas emissions
      • 满足日益增长的粮食需求, 纤维, 燃料, despite the changing climate and fewer opportunities for agricultural expansion onto additional lands
      • 促进经济发展、减贫和粮食安全 
      • 维持和提高生产力和恢复自然, 农林生态系统功能, 建立自然资本
      • 制定适应和缓解办法 
      • 减少在追求这些目标时遇到的权衡.
  • E15
    • CHS strongly supports E15 and other high ethanol blends and advocates for policies that aim to expand its adoption and use, including federal legislation that would legalize the year-round sale of E15 nationwide.
    • 扩大E15的使用需要基础设施投资. CHS认为，政府应该采取行动，减少这些投资的成本负担.
    • CHS supports fully funding grant programs like Higher Blends Infrastructure Incentive Program (HBIIP), which provide funding for retailers to install the infrastructure necessary for E15 sales, 比如地下储罐.
    • 皇冠hga010安卓二维码让E15更容易获得, CHS is one of a few ethanol producers that have completed all federal requirements to produce E15 by registering our ethanol and ethanol plants with the EPA, 提交燃料不足缓解计划并创建调查计划. 虽然完成这些步骤既昂贵又耗时, doing so is the right thing to do for our owners and customers and illustrates that CHS wants to be a leader in E15.

    • CHS is unable to support a 98 RON due to the increased economic and logistical issues it would present to our energy business.
  • 低碳燃料标准(LCFS)

    • CHS支持种植者参与脱碳价值流.g.(例如，通过燃料和作物应用来降低碳强度的种植者做法)。.
