Summary of Bill S 881

Bill 119 s 881, also known as the Clean Air Act Amendment, aims to make changes to the Clean Air Act by adding fuel for ocean-going vessels as a 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 energy source, which can help reduce emissions and promote cleaner air.

The bill seeks to expand the types of fuels that can be used to generate credits under the renewable fuel program, which is a program designed to incentivize the use of renewable energy sources. By including fuel for ocean-going vessels in this program, the bill aims to encourage the use of cleaner fuels in the shipping industry, which is a major source of air pollution.

Overall, the Clean Air Act Amendment is a step towards promoting cleaner air and reducing emissions from ocean-going vessels. By including fuel for these ships in the renewable fuel program, the bill aims to incentivize the use of cleaner fuels and reduce the environmental impact of shipping.
