HB 1091 – Low Carbon Fuel Standard
Bill briefEnergy, Utilities & Technology Transportation
For several years now, Democrats have pushed an agenda that prioritizes reducing greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions from the transportation sector—the largest source of Washington’s emissions. This category includes emissions from on-road gasoline and diesel vehicles, marine vessels, jet fuel and aviation gasoline, railroads, and natural gas used in transportation. Emissions from on-road gasoline — personal cars and trucks — make up over half of total emissions in this category.
