$30 million available for farmers who paid carbon fees on fuel

From the Washington State Department of Licensing

The Washington State Department of Licensing (DOL) has issued an application for partial payment for ag producers or transporters of agricultural products who paid carbon fees related to the state’s cap and trade program on fuel purchases. Qualifying purchases are between Jan. 1, 2023 and Dec. 1, 2023. 

Applications began being taken on Sept. 1, and funds will be issued on a first-come, first-served basis. Applications take minutes to complete.

Why is this important for agriculture? 

Agriculture was exempt from these fees under the Climate Commitment Act. Washington Farm Bureau needs ag producers and transporters to submit this important fuel information as the data collected will be important for any future legislative advocacy. Share these resources and encourage anyone in the agricultural community who qualifies to apply.

What qualifies for this program? 

  • Retail fuel purchases
  • Bulk tank loads
  • Special fuels like natural gas and propane
