Illinois is looking to become the fifth sate to create a clean fuel transportation standard. The Illinois version, if passed, may not be as robust as the ones found in California, Oregon, or Washington, but it does call for reducing the carbon intensity (CI) from the on-road sector by 25% below the 2019 baseline within 10 years of policy adoption.
The legislation is sponsored by Senator David Koehler and titled the EPA-Clean Transport Standard. According to Koehler’s office, the bill does not seek to transition Illinois fuel use to electricity or hydrogen but is ambitious in reducing the life cycle CI score by 25% by 2038.
The bill also exempts aviation fuel from the clean transportation standard. Producers of renewable jet fuel would still be able to opt-in to the program and be able to generate credits that could be traded to other obligated parties or saved and used against future obligations.
