What is the Clean Fuel Standard Act?
A clean fuel standard is a cost-effective way to reduce the carbon footprint of transportation fuel and advance New Mexico’s climate goals. The Environmental Protection Division Director Sandra Ely, talked more about the Clean Fuel Standard Act, what it is and why it’s so beneficial.
The Clean Fuel Standard Act simply reduces the carbon footprint of fuel that we use in our vehicles. Companies will be required to reduce the carbon intensity of their fuel over time.
