WHY IT WORKSState regulation allows you to get paid for using electric golf carts.
Clean Fuel Transportation Regulations Are Set
Certain states have clean fuel transportation regulations that require gasoline and diesel producers to clean up the overall carbon intensity of their brand.
Credits Are Used for Compliance
Gas and diesel producers can either upgrade their own refining processes or incentivize consumers to utilize clean fuels by purchasing clean energy fuel credits.
Electric Golf Carts Generate Credits
Electric golf carts, instead of those that use fossil fuels, generate the clean energy fuel credits that gas and diesel producers need to buy.
