HB 1844 Washington House · 2025-2026 Regular Session

Advancing the production and use of alternative jet fuels in Washington.

This bill establishes a state office to coordinate the development and deployment of alternative jet fuels and renewable hydrogen in Washington. It creates a competitive grant program to fund infrastructure like rail spurs, fuel handling equipment, and blending facilities - requiring public access to funded infrastructure and prohibiting land acquisition funding. The bill also mandates environmental reviews for related clean energy projects, assessing impacts on tribal resources, environmental justice communities, and wildlife habitats. These provisions directly affect state agencies (including Ecology and Transportation), private fuel developers, and tribes through new coordination requirements and funding mechanisms for hard-to-decarbonize sectors.
