Renewable Fuel for Ocean-Going Vessels Act

Referred to the House Committee on Energy and Commerce.

Bill 119 hr 1896, also known as the Clean Air Act Amendment, aims to make changes to the Clean Air Act by including fuel for ocean-going vessels as an additional renewable fuel that can generate credits under the renewable fuel program. This means that fuel used by ships traveling on the ocean can now be considered a renewable fuel source, which can help reduce emissions and promote cleaner air.

The bill seeks to address the environmental impact of ocean-going vessels by incentivizing the use of renewable fuels. By including these fuels in the renewable fuel program, the bill aims to encourage the shipping industry to transition to cleaner and more sustainable fuel sources.

Overall, Bill 119 hr 1896 is focused on promoting environmental sustainability and reducing air pollution by expanding the types of renewable fuels that can be used by ocean-going vessels. This legislation has the potential to have a positive impact on the environment and public health by encouraging the use of cleaner fuels in the shipping industry.
