Gov. Inslee Pitches Clean-fuel Standard at SeaTac Airport

Washington Gov. Jay Inslee on Friday called for passage of a low-carbon fuel standard at Seattle-Tacoma International Airport, saying the policy would spur innovation and increase access to biofuels for airlines.

Aviation fuels are exempt from the proposed statewide policy, but fuel suppliers to airlines could opt in to the program and earn credits, and possibly money from the program.

“It’s the best way to get biofuels into the airline industry,” Inslee said, adding that it would incentivize the port to scale up biofuel infrastructure.
