Item B: Clean Fuels Program 2024 Rulemaking (Action) DEQ will present proposed rules that update the requirements and tools used by the Clean Fuels Program to calculate greenhouse gas emissions to safeguard the program's environmental integrity. This rulemaking includes updating the full well-to-wheels OR-GREET fuel carbon intensity model to version 4.0 and updating and adding simplified calculators for Tier 1 fuels. The rulemaking also adds other provisions, including a reserve account for credits from fuel pathways with carbon capture and sequestration projects associated with them, additional tracking requirements for high-risk feedstocks, and requiring electricity reporting and fuel pathway applications to go through third party verification.
