Chapter 173-424 WAC and WAC 173-424-150, Clean Fuel Standard Rulemaking, Fees and Buying and Selling Credits
Ecology is considering amendments to the Clean Fuels Program Rule (chapter 173-424 WAC) and our fee structure in WAC 173-455-150. The purpose of this rulemaking is to implement HB 1409 (which more than doubled the carbon intensity reduction goal of the program!), incentivize transportation electrification, update the WA-GREET model, improve the fee structure, and make other technical amendments to improve the program.
We are seeking informal input about potential rule changes to the CFS fee structure, and ways we might be able to address challenges to selling CFS credits to unlock investment in clean fuels. Feedback will be used to help develop amendments to rule language, and inform our Environmental Justice Assessment. Ecology will consider all comments on draft changes, however only formal comments after the rule proposal (expected Spring 2027) will be responded to in the Concise Explanatory Statement (CES).
We appreciate your interest and engagement with our rulemaking. Please contact Lauren.Sanner@ecy.wa.gov with questions.
