Clean fuel standard bill headed to Washington House floor February 10, 2021 at 7:05 am

Once again, there’s a movement in the state Legislature for a clean fuel standard and after a narrow pass by the House Appropriations Committee, it’s headed to the House floor.
The House passed a clean fuel standard each year for the past two sessions, but it didn’t make it through the Senate.
This year, House Bill 1091 would require fuel companies to reduce the carbon in their gas by 10% by 2028, and by 20% by 2035. This is specifically for fuel used on the road; fuel for trains, airplanes, and boats would be exempt.
