The state’s oft-maligned Clean Fuels Program goes into effect next month, re- quiring vehicle fuel import- ers to begin ratcheting down the carbon emissions stemming from use of their fuels. Cars and trucks are one of the two biggest sources of cli- mate-warming greenhouse gases in Oregon, along with coal plants. The Clean Fuels Program requires companies that import large quantities of motor vehicle fuel — there are currently 29 of them — to re- duce the carbon emissions from their fuels by 10 percent over the next decade.
