Carbon Washington

Moving Washington State toward net-zero carbon emissions and a healthy, prosperous future for all.

[Carbon Washington @CarbonWA]

As the nation's leading producer of hydropower, our state already has a strong foundation for a cleaner energy future. We have an opportunity to build on that strength by expanding clean energy and creating a more resilient energy system.

Let's put it to work!

[Carbon Washington @CarbonWA]

From Puget Sound to the Columbia River, Washington's waters support communities, wildlife, agriculture, recreation, and local economies.

Protecting these ecosystems means tackling pollution, preparing for changing conditions, and investing in a healthier climate

[Carbon Washington @CarbonWA]

There's more work to do. But this shows what climate policy can succeed when we put solutions into action.

Let's continue that progress.

Climate action is already delivering results in Washington.

In 2024, Washington's Clean Fuel Standard reduced an estimated 3 million tons of greenhouse gases which is equivalent to taking nearly 700,000 cars off the road for a year.

Meaningful progress happens when people come together to support thoughtful policies and invest in solutions that strengthen our communities while reducing pollution.

Climate action is a collective effort, and every step forward brings us closer to a healthier Washington.

[Carbon Washington @CarbonWA]

Cars, trucks, planes, ships, and other transportation account for the largest share of Washington's greenhouse gas emissions.

Expanding clean transportation options—from public transit to electric vehicles—can significantly reduce pollution while improving air quality.

From forests and mountains to farmland and coastlines, Washington's landscapes shape who we are. Protecting our climate means protecting the places we love and ensuring future generations can enjoy them too!

[Carbon Washington @CarbonWA]

Climate action isn't just about reducing emissions, it's about building healthier communities, creating good jobs, lowering energy costs, and leaving a livable future for the next generation.

A cleaner Washington is a stronger Washington!

These award portend real progress reducing agricultural emissions and providing revenue to farmers. This program started as part of the @CarbonWA supported #SustainableFarmsandFields program.

This pilot program will help small businesses reduce cost and carbon emissions and we are looking forward to its expansion across Washington state!

Data is crucial to optimally deploy resources to areas where they are most vital. One such example is the #EnvironmentalHealthDisparities map which is aimed at helping  us determine where to place more attention. Technology for the greater good!

Not all neighborhoods and communities experience climate change equally and those who suffer most from the impacts of climate change must be among those who benefit from climate and environmental policies. The #HEALAct is rooted in equity just how it's supposed to be.

More EV charging means cleaner air and lower transportation costs for Washingtonians. The state's $37.3 million investment in charging infrastructure is a win for communities across Washington. What a great investment!

Development of sustainable aviation fuel is important to Washington State, and potentially lucrative. Learn more here from some leaders in the field:

#TransmissionAuthority will shape how power moves across WA. Let's be clear: clean energy is only as effective as our ability to deliver it by building efficiently, effectively, & equitably.

Millions allocated to WA #GreenBank, will support residential projects, including solar, HVAC upgrades, EV chargers, & efficiency improvements, with a priority on low-to-moderate income households.

Maryland’s #GreenBank has leveraged significant private investment and helped deliver some great outcomes, we expect the same Washington’s Green Bank!

"There’s increasing momentum for companies to build out their own power sources to support that growth. On paper, that can sound efficient."

Farms can feed people and generate clean energy - a win-win!

France just showed what that can look like: solar canopies above vineyards, vegetables, and grain fields generating clean energy while helping crops survive extreme heat and drought.

A new innovation now makes it possible to pull water from the air for drinking & perhaps for cooling data centers. Clearly, science based solutions will help us meet future challenges in WA & beyond.
