In Washington, D.C., the Renewable Fuels Association submitted feedback related to a planned expansion of the Oregon Clean Fuels Program. The Oregon CFP currently requires a 10% reduction in the carbon intensity (CI) of transportation fuels by 2025, and the state intends to expand the reductions to 20% by 2030 and 25% by 2035.
In anticipation of the expansion, Oregon’s Department of Environmental Quality recently released a set of illustrative scenarios showing different ways that compliance in 2030 and 2035 could be achieved. While RFA believes the program has been effective and supports its expansion, the association identified some areas of concern related to specific aspects of the scenarios.

The Washington Legislature passed House Bill 1091, which directs the Washington State Department of Ecology (Ecology) to adopt rules establishing a Clean Fuels Program to limit the aggregate, overall greenhouse gas emissions per unit of transportation fuel energy to 20% below 2017 levels by 2035. With the April 25, 2021, passage of House Bill 1091, the legislature seeks to promote the use of low carbon transportation fuels and to spur growth of the biofuel sector in Washington similar to growth seen in California and Oregon after adoption of similar standards.
The legislation directs Ecology to adopt a rule establishing a Clean Fuels Program to be in place no later than January 1, 2023, to limit the greenhouse gas emissions attributable to each unit of transportation fuel (carbon intensity) to 20% below 2017 levels by 2035, with annual reductions no less than (1) 0.5% in each of 2023 and 2024; (2) 1.0% in each of 20
In Washington state, HB 1091. the Clean Fuel Standard has been passed by the legislature and now heads to Governor Jay Inslee’s desk for signature; it is a significant win for the Governor’s renewables agenda and for the clean fuels movement.
From San Diego to the gateway to the Klondike, a clean curtain has descended across the gateway to the Pacific. Low-carbon fuel standards are now in place in California, Oregon, British Columbia and, shortly, in Washington state creating a fortress of renewability, into which many of the Great cities of the Petroleum Age have taken themselves Los Angeles, Seattle, San Francisco, San Diego, Oakland, Portland, Vancouver. The stakeholder group Clean Fuel Washington has dubbed the region “The Clean Fuel Coast”.
