In an open letter sent to Governor Inslee, the elected leaders cited job creation, small business growth and providing consumers more choice at the pump among the benefits of increasing production of clean, low-carbon fuels in Washington. “Working toward cleaner fuels presents a win-win for our state’s health and economy,” said Council President Ben Stuckart. “A Clean Fuels Standard will help us clean up our air and generate a growing portion of our fuels right here at home, spurring innovation and job growth in our local economies.” “Fuels options and prices are key considerations for farmers and workers in rural communities throughout eastern Washington,” said Councilmember Jon Snyder. “Right now, local producers of alternative fuels are at a competitive disadvantage with large fuel importers. A Clean Fuels Standard will help level the playing field for these local producers to compete on a fair, open market. “Companies across Washington are already part of the clean fuels supply chain,” said Stuckart, “From dairy farmers in Skagit, Snohomish and Whatcom Counties, to biofuel producers in Greys Harbor and King County, to canola seed growers and processors right here in Eastern Washington. An expanded market for clean fuels will encourage more companies to invest here, and purchase more locally-grown feedstock.” Transportation is the largest source of air pollution and greenhouse gas emissions in Washington State. A Clean Fuels Standard would require fuel distributors to gradually lower the carbon intensity of their fuels over time, creating a fair, flexible market for clean transportation fuels. The standard ensures that the state’s fuel supply reduces pollution from gasoline and diesel by ten percent over ten years. Fuel distributors may look to advancements in refining, or use of alternate, lower carbon fuels like electricity, biofuels like biodiesel or ethanol derived from locally sourced crops, or propane and natural gas. Governor Inslee is considering a standard that would be technology neutral, allowing fuels to compete on their pollution-reducing benefits. A Clean Fuels Standard would provide a level playing field for small businesses currently providing jobs and fuels in Washington’s supply chain and provide room for growth on both sides of the Cascades. A Clean Fuels Standard in Washington would follow on action toward clean fuels across the West Coast. Both California and British Columbia have working standards and Oregon legislators are considering a vote in 2015 to move forward on their state’s Clean Fuels Program. Adopting and maintaining low-carbon fuels standards is a key pillar of the Pacific Coast Action Plan on Climate and Energy signed last fall by Governor Inslee along with Oregon Governor John Kitzhaber, California Governor Jerry Brown and British Columbia's Premier Christy Clark. Governor Inslee's Executive Order on Climate called for the Office of Financial Management to conduct an economic analysis of a clean fuels standard for Washington. Since June, OFM has worked with independent experts, interagency staff and technical consultants, Life Cycle Associates to study the economic benefits of a Clean Fuels Standard in Washington. The analysis is expected to be completed this fall. Overview of a Clean Fu

    Cleaner Fuels
    **********************************************

    Spokane, WA Today Spokane City Council President Ben Stuckart and Councilman Jon
    Snyder joined over 60 municipal leaders calling on the governor and the state to soon implement
    a clean fuels standard. In an open letter sent to Governor Inslee, the elected leaders cited job
    creation, small business growth and providing consumers more choice at the pump among the
    benefits of increasing production of clean, low-carbon fuels in Washington.
    Working toward cleaner fuels presents a win-win for our states health and economy, said
    Council President Ben Stuckart. A Clean Fuels Standard will help us clean up our air and
    generate a growing portion of our fuels right here at home, spurring innovation and job growth in
    our local economies.
    Fuels options and prices are key considerations for farmers and workers in rural communities
    throughout eastern Washington, said Councilmember Jon Snyder. Right now, local producers
    of alternative fuels are at a competitive disadvantage with large fuel importers. A Clean Fuels
    Standard will help level the playing field for these local producers to compete on a fair, open
    market.
    Companies across Washington are already part of the clean fuels supply chain, said Stuckart,
    From dairy farmers in Skagit, Snohomish and Whatcom Counties, to biofuel producers in Greys
    Harbor and King County, to canola seed growers and processors right here in Eastern
    Washington. An expanded market for clean fuels will encourage more companies to invest here,
    and purchase more locally-grown feedstock.
