Require refineries to offset any emission increases from dirtier feedstocks
In Plain English
Richmond refineries could process heavier crude oil that produces more pollution. The proposed law change requires refineries to cut emissions elsewhere if they switch to dirtier feedstocks. If approved, any emission increase gets canceled out by equal reductions in other refinery operations.
