Hawaii Governor Josh Green signed legislation to create a clean fuel standard for the state. The new law, which has garnered support from Clean Fuels Alliance America, aims to drive demand and open a new market for biodiesel, renewable diesel, and sustainable aviation fuel, all while spurring economic activity and improving the health of citizens.
“As a native of Hawaii, I am thrilled by the state’s leadership in passing the Clean Fuel Standard,” says Cory-Ann Wind, Director of State Regulatory Affairs for Clean Fuels.
“Cleaner fuels like biodiesel, renewable diesel, and sustainable aviation fuel will play a significant role in helping Hawaii reach its climate goals.”
Hawaii becomes the fifth state to pass a clean fuel standard, alongside California, Oregon, Washington, and New Mexico.
The legislation tasks the Hawaii Department of Transportation with developing regulations to reduce transportation emissions by 10% from 2019 levels by 2035, and no less than 50% by 2045.
