Renewable Fuel for Ocean-Going Vessels Act
Refreshed 4 min ago
Introduced 2025-03-06Topic: energy · environmentSummary
AI-generated summary, report an errorThis bill would change the Clean Air Act so that renewable fuel used to replace fossil fuel in ocean-going vessels can earn credits under the federal renewable fuel program, as home heating oil and jet fuel replacements already can. The change would take effect starting with the second calendar year after the bill becomes law. The Environmental Protection Agency would have to issue rules to carry out the change within 1 year of enactment. Within 1 year after issuing final rules, the agency would have to report to House and Senate committees on how the change is being carried out.
