AI Summary

This bill establishes the "low carbon fuel standard of 2019" to reduce carbon intensity from the on-road transportation sector by 20% by 2030, with further reductions to be implemented based on advances in technology. The standard applies to all providers of transportation fuels in New York, measured on a full fuels lifecycle basis, and can be met through market-based methods where providers exceeding the performance requirements receive credits that can be applied to future obligations or traded. The commissioner is required to promulgate regulations within 24 months to implement the standard, which may be phased in with priority given to the heavy-duty transportation sector. The bill also requires the commissioner to report to the legislature within 24 months on the program's implementation and greenhouse gas emission reductions achieved.
