Require refineries to fully offset any emission increases from dirtier feedstocks
In Plain English
Richmond refineries currently can increase dangerous emissions when they process dirtier oil types. The proposed law change requires refineries to cut emissions elsewhere by an equal amount whenever they use more problematic feedstocks. If approved, refineries cannot increase total emissions even when switching to heavier or more toxic oil sources.
