It requires the Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) to promulgate regulations that mandate producers, importers, and wholesale distributors to report all Massachusetts transportation fuel sales and the source of the fuel. The DEP must then compute and track the lifecycle greenhouse gas emissions and carbon intensity of each reported fuel on an annual basis.
