The Clean Transportation Fuel Standard (CTFS) is a key initiative in New Mexico’s strategy to reduce greenhouse gas emissions from transportation. The program, targeting a 20% carbon intensity reduction by 2030, promotes the use of cleaner fuels such as electricity and hydrogen, aligning with the state’s broader environmental goals.
The CTFS will introduce mandatory metering requirements starting in January 2026, to enhance the accuracy of emissions tracking. These updates reflect New Mexico’s commitment to refining the program’s effectiveness and ensuring that the reduction targets are met with precision.
The CTFS is open to electric vehicle (EV) fleet operators, fuel providers, and other stakeholders dedicated to lowering carbon emissions. Participants can earn and trade credits by reducing the carbon intensity of their operations, creating both environmental benefits and new revenue opportunities.
Enrolling in the CTFS with Smart Rebates™ is straightforward. We manage the entire application and enrollment process, including an in-person site audit to ensure accurate credit estimates. Our team handles all compliance and paperwork requirements, enabling you to concentrate on your operations. Whether you’re new to the CTFS or seeking to optimize your participation, Smart Rebates™ offers tailored support to maximize your earnings.
Under the CTFS, credits are earned based on the reduction of carbon intensity in transportation fuels. These credits can be traded on the market, providing a viable revenue stream for participants. The trading process is managed through a well-established market system, enabling participants to maximize financial returns while contributing to New Mexico’s environmental objectives.
The CTFS offers significant financial incentives for reducing carbon emissions. Rebates are calculated based on the volume of emissions avoided and are distributed on a quarterly basis. These funds can be reinvested into your business to enhance operational efficiency, acquire additional low-carbon vehicles, or support sustainability initiatives.
Compliance with the CTFS requires regular reporting of emissions and fuel data. While participants must submit quarterly and annual reports to the New Mexico Environment Department (NMED), Motive Energy manages the entire process, ensuring timely and accurate submissions to maintain eligibility and maximize credit generation.
