Summary of SCAQMD Clean Fuels Program Advisory Meeting

On February 6, the South Coast Air Quality Management District (SCAQMD) held their semi-annual Clean Fuels Program Advisory Meeting to provide an annual report on the Clean Fuels Program for 2019 and an update on the Clean Fuels Program Plan for 2020. It was also an opportunity to solicit feedback and comments from stakeholders, State agencies, industry groups and technology providers.

The Clean Fuels Program Plan takes into account feedback from various conferences (ACT Expo, DOE Annual Merit Review, CALSTART Symposium) as well as from clean technology partnerships such as the California Hydrogen Business Council, VELOZ, and the California Fuel Cell Partnership. The Clean Fuels Program Plan for 2020 will be submitted to the SCAQMD Board on March 6 and to the State Legislature on March 31. The Clean Fuels Program Plan (CFPP) contains the various incentive programs to advance alternative technologies and move the region closer to achieving EPA required NOx attainment by 2023.
