What it does

The Renewable Fuel for Ocean-Going Vessels Act would amend the Clean Air Act to classify fuel used by ocean-going vessels as eligible renewable fuel under the federal renewable fuel program, allowing credits to be generated for its use. This change would affect producers and users of renewable fuels for maritime shipping, potentially expanding the market for alternative fuels in the shipping industry. The bill requires the EPA to issue implementing regulations within one year of enactment and to submit a follow-up report to Congress within one year after those regulations are finalized.
