(3) Allows electric vehicle manufacturers to be eligible to generate clean fuels program credits.
(4) Allows electricity to be certified with a carbon intensity of zero if a renewable energy credit or other environmental attribute has been used or retired for the electricity, but without requiring the retirement or use of the renewable energy credit or attribute be used or retired only for purposes of the Clean Fuels Program.
(5) Authorizes the Department of Ecology's rules to allow the generation of credits from gaseous and liquid fuels from nonfossil feedstocks and derivatives.
(6) Authorizes the expenditure by electric utilities of Clean Fuels Program revenues on the provision of hydrogen and other gaseous fuels produced from nonfossil feedstocks and derivatives.
(7) Requires the ex-ante independent analysis of the Clean Fuels Program's price impacts on transportation fuels that:
(a) Consider stakeholder input and the experiences of other jurisdictions,
(b) Use multiple analytical methodologies, and
(c) Make clear the assumptions and factors considered by each methodology.
