New Mexico is Driving Toward a Cleaner Future

Starting today, Monday, September 22, the New Mexico Environment Department will be presenting its Clean Transportation Fuel Program (CTFP) proposal for adoption. The CTFP is a proven, market-based program that cuts greenhouse gas emissions, reduces harmful air pollution, and creates good-paying jobs right here at home.

Authorized under House Bill 41 (2024), the CTFP will:

✅ Cut transportation fuel carbon intensity 20% by 2030 and 30% by 2040

✅ Improve public health by reducing asthma, heart disease, and smog

✅ Deliver over $1.6 billion in net economic benefits by 2040

✅ Create over 500 jobs statewide in the construction, maintenance, and installation of fuel supply equipment, with the potential to generate an additional 200+ new jobs through complementary clean energy and infrastructure projects

✅ Require utilities that participate in the program to invest at least 50% of revenues in low-income and underserved communities 

Transportation fuels are New Mexico’s second-largest source of climate pollution and a leading contributor to asthma and heart disease. By switching to cleaner fuels and expanding choices like electricity, renewable diesel, and hydrogen, CTFP will help protect our air, water, and families for generations to come.
