政策立场

  • 碳交易市场
    • 社福服务支持志愿服务, 以激励为基础的政策，鼓励农民采用气候智能型农业做法, including favorable terms on 政府ernment loans and other financial support programs.
    • CHS不支持将气候智能型做法的采用与农民或牧场主参与联邦资助的风险澳门皇冠赌场平台项目的能力联系起来的行动, 比如农作物保险, Title 1 commodity programs (ARC/PLC), Dairy Margin Coverage (DMC) or Livestock Gross Margin coverage.
    • Policies must be equitable across geographies, crops and grazing operations.
    • 政策必须充分包括已经采取气候智能型做法的早期适应者.
    • CHS支持碳减排和保护政策，以保持土地的生产, rather than land retirement programs (CRP).
    • CHS supports the Growing Climate Solutions Act.
    • USDA should develop consistent, 可信的, 以科学为基础的标准来考虑气候智能型农业实践的碳封存和温室气体减排效益.
    • USDA should define climate-smart practices as practices that:
      • 提供气候效益，包括增加固存和/或减少温室气体排放
      • Meet the growing demand for food, 纤维, 燃料, 尽管气候不断变化，农业扩张到更多土地的机会越来越少
      • Contribute to economic development, poverty reduction and food security 
      • Maintain and enhance the productivity and resilience of natural, agricultural and forest ecosystem functions, to build natural capital
      • Develop adaptation and mitigation approaches 
      • Reduce tradeoffs encountered in the pursuit of these goals.
  • E15
    • CHS强烈支持E15和其他高乙醇混合物，并倡导旨在扩大其采用和使用的政策, 包括将E15全年在全国销售合法化的联邦立法.
    • Expanding E15 use requires infrastructure investments. CHS believes 政府ernments should act to reduce the cost burden of those investments.
    • 卫生服务中心完全支持诸如高混合基础设施激励计划(HBIIP)这样的拨款项目。, 为零售商安装E15销售所需的基础设施提供资金, such as underground storage tanks.
    • To show commitment to making E15 more accessible, CHS是少数几家通过向EPA注册乙醇和乙醇工厂来完成所有联邦要求生产E15的乙醇生产商之一, submitting a Mis燃料ing Mitigation Plan and creating a survey plan. While it is costly and time-consuming to complete these steps, 这样做对我们的业主和客户都是正确的，也说明了CHS想要成为E15的领导者.
    • CHS is making E15 more accessible for consumers by removing barriers for our 1,400-plus Cenex branded retailers, 包括批准E15作为零售商的天然气等级，并通过CHS足迹的终端建立通道.
  • 高辛烷值燃料
    • CHS支持采用95研究辛烷值(RON)来减少碳排放, 提高内燃机的效率，满足当前和未来的CAFE标准.
    • a95 RON为乙醇和玉米提供需求保护，有利于我们的皇冠hga010安卓二维码和粮食业务, while promoting liquid 燃料s as a responsible energy source into the future.
    • CHS无法支持98 RON，因为这会给我们的皇冠hga010安卓二维码业务带来越来越多的经济和后勤问题.
  • Low Carbon Fuel Standard (LCFS)
    • 独特的CHS运营足迹需要分析拟议的低碳燃料标准(LCFS)立法规定，包括合规时间表, impact to rural communities, off-ramp mechanisms and updated 燃料 pathway modeling (e.g., canola, corn, renewable diesel, soybean)
    • CHS supports grower participation in the decarbonization value stream (e.g., grower practices that reduce carbon intensity through 燃料 and crop applications).
    • CHS支持一个低碳燃料标准，包括一个现实的液体燃料合规时间表，以及监管和立法行动，承认液体燃料在任何向电动汽车过渡的必要作用，并且不会导致有利于电气化的需求破坏.
