HB 2338: Greenhouse gas/transp. fuels

Reducing the greenhouse gas emissions associated with transportation fuels.

Summary

  • Directs the Department of Ecology (Ecology) to adopt a rule establishing a Clean Fuels Program to limit the greenhouse gas emissions per unit of transportation fuel energy to 10 percent below 2017 levels by 2028.
  • Excludes exported fuel, fuel used by vessels, railroad locomotives, and aircraft, and certain other categories of fuel from the Clean Fuels Program requirements.
  • Requires the Clean Fuels Program to include processes for the tracking of compliance obligations and bankable, tradeable credits.
  • Requires annual reporting by Ecology on the Clean Fuels Program, as well as an analysis of the program's first five years by the Joint Legislative Audit and Review Committee.
  • Retains the current distribution of revenue under the 2015 Transportation Revenue Package, eliminating changes that would have been triggered as a result of legislative enactment of a Clean Fuels Program.
