Clean fuels are liquid sources of energy for transportation made from a wide range of sources that produce little to no climate pollution.
Thanks to Washington’s new clean fuel law, it will be easier for cars, trucks, ships, and planes to substitute dirty, imported gas and diesel with:
Under the new law, all fuel types are assigned a “carbon intensity” score ranging from zero to 100 based on land use, water use, carbon emissions required to produce and transport the fuel, and tailpipe emissions.
For example, renewable electricity generated from solar, wind, hydro, green hydrogen, and ocean energy have a CI score of zero. Fossil fuel-based gasoline and diesel have a CI score of 100.
Washington’s new clean fuel law is rolling out in 2023. Sign up to learn when and where you’ll be able to purchase climate friendlier gas and diesel, and let us know whether you prefer for us to text or email you.
