Hawaii HB1986 establishes a clean fuel standard to reduce greenhouse gas emissions from transportation fuels.

Hawaii HB1986 mandates the Department of Transportation to create a clean fuel standard for alternative fuels, aiming to reduce lifecycle greenhouse gas emissions. The standard includes mechanisms for generating credits and deficits based on carbon intensity, exemptions for certain fuels, and a phase-in schedule. The rules also cover verification procedures, cost containment, and adjustments for fuel efficiency. The standard seeks to stimulate the economy, improve public health, and support the deployment of clean transportation technologies.
