The transportation sector is the largest emitter of greenhouse gases in Delaware. That’s why Governor Carney’s Administration is:

• Creating a roadmap to guide the transition to electric vehicles (EVs).
• Building out infrastructure by adding electric charging stations along major traffic corridors and transforming bus fleets to electric and hydrogen.
• Supporting DART First State (DART) and the Delaware Transit Corporation as they use federal grants to expand their electric bus fleet.
• Using DNREC’s Clean Vehicle Rebate Program to incentivize an affordable transition to EVs.

Delaware is making strides to expand its green energy infrastructure by:

• Leaning on the expertise of the Governor’s Energy Advisory Council (GEAC), whose members are responsible for providing recommendations to the State Energy Office on Delaware’s energy plan update.
• Optimizing federal dollars and encouraging private investments in renewable and clean energy options to ensure diversification of energy sources and reliability of Delaware’s energy supply.
• Ensuring that energy efficiency measures are accessible to Delawareans.

Preserving Delaware’s natural and working lands plays an important role in the state’s carbon sequestration efforts:

• Funding for the Open Space Program and Aglands Preservation Program will facilitate carbon sequestration, improve water quality, provide habitat for pollinators and wildlife, and increase resilience to the impacts of climate change.
• Planting trees and managing forestlands through the Forest Initiative Fund (FIF) and the Tree for Every Delawarean Initiative (TEDI) are additional ways Delawareans can help sustain our natural lands.
