Pennsylvania House of Representatives to Consider Clean Fuel Standard
On December 3, legislation to establish a clean fuel standard (CFS) was introduced into the Pennsylvania House of Representatives under House Bill 2063 (HB 2063).
This standard, which would function very similarly to the well-established California Low Carbon Fuels Standard (CARB LCFS), would allow sellers within Pennsylvania of fuel that has lower emissions than conventional gasoline and diesel fuel to generate credits for this fuel proportional to their emissions reduction. Pennsylvania is hoping to gain the same benefits from this program as have been seen through the similar California, Oregon and Washington programs, including more fuel choices at the pump, lower cost renewable fuels and a reduction in pollution.
With this, Pennsylvania joins Minnesota, Illinois and New York on the list of states who have had clean fuels standards bills introduced in 2025.
At TRICORD, we have been monitoring the progression of many similar proposed programs and have been keeping up with the latest news. Our renewables team has supported lifecycle assessment and application and ongoing compliance support for the following programs:
- California Low Carbon Fuel Standard (CARB LCFS)
- Canada Clean Fuel Regulations (ECCC CFR)
- U.S. Renewable Fuel Standard (EPA RFS)
- U.S. Inflation Reduction Act (IRS IRA)
- Washington Clean Fuels Standard (WDOE CFS)
- Oregon Clean Fuels Program (ODEQ CFP)
- New Mexico Clean Transportation Fuels Program (NMED CTFP)
