New York Clean Fuel Standard Legislation Pending in Albany
What happened
A statewide clean fuel standard is pending legislation in Albany, New York. The standard would require fuel suppliers to reduce the carbon intensity of their products by at least 20% by 2034. This measure is designed to promote cleaner fuels, such as renewable diesel, which can be deployed in existing truck fleets.

Why it matters
The proposed standard could aid communities during warehouse construction booms by promoting cleaner transport options. New York City already operates its heavy-duty vehicles on renewable diesel, a transition that reportedly reduces carbon dioxide emissions by an estimated 162 million pounds annually.
