Vermont S0171 proposes a Clean Fuels Program to reduce greenhouse gas emissions in fuel.

Vermont S0171 directs the Commissioner of Environmental Conservation to implement the Clean Fuels Program, aiming to reduce greenhouse gas emissions per unit of fuel energy. The Commissioner must adopt low carbon fuel standards, including a schedule to reduce emissions by 10% below 2018 levels by 2030. The bill mandates public engagement through meetings in diverse counties, with exemptions for certain fuel uses and imports below 500,000 gallons. The Commissioner must also consider other states' low carbon fuel standards and consult with relevant agencies.
