Establishes a clean fuel standard to reduce transportation fuel carbon intensity by 80% by 2050.
The bill amends Massachusetts law to establish a clean fuel standard aimed at reducing the aggregate carbon intensity of transportation fuels by 80% from 1990 levels by 2050. It mandates the creation of a mechanism for generating and trading credits to offset carbon deficits, ensuring compliance with the standard. The Department of Environmental Protection is tasked with setting criteria for clean energy and accessible transportation projects in disadvantaged communities, which will benefit from a portion of the credits generated.
