Methane Fuel Gets a Renewed Lease At the T
Plans to replace the MBTA's methane-fueled buses with zero-emission electric models are on pause.
The MBTA announced a new partnership with the STX Group, a commodities trading firm, to participate in the Federal Renewable Fuel Standard (RFSII) program.
The program, established in 2005 during George W. Bush's presidency, requires fuel refiners and importers to produce a certain volume of "renewable" fuels that aren't drilled out of the ground.
The partnership will allow the MBTA to participate in the program without changing its bus fleet or the kinds of fuel it consumes.
The MBTA’s methane gas fueling facility at the Cabot bus garage on Dorchester Ave will continue to operate.
