Public Meeting on Clean Fuels Forecast

In accordance with Chapter 70A.535 RCW Transportation Fuel—Clean Fuels Program.  

Washington’s Clean Fuel Standard will cut statewide greenhouse gas emissions by 4.3 million metric tons a year by 2038 and stimulate economic development in low carbon fuel production. These goals are accomplished by requiring fuel suppliers to reduce the carbon intensity of transportation fuels to 20% below 2017 levels by 2038.

Fuel suppliers can achieve these reductions through methods by:

  • Improving the efficiency of their fuel production processes
  • Producing and/or blending low-carbon biofuels into the fuel they sell
  • Purchasing credits generated by low-carbon fuel providers, including electric vehicle charging providers.

The Washington State Department of Commerce must make a prediction regarding whether sufficient credits will be available to comply with Clean Fuels Program requirements and prepare a fuel supply forecast. The draft fuel supply forecast is now available for public review and comment.

Comments are being accepted through Sept. 14, 2022 via email to steven.polunsky@commerce.wa.gov
