Bill > HB3115

This bill, the Renewable Gas and Low-Carbon Fuels Act, aims to regulate the use of renewable gas and other low-carbon fuels in Illinois. It sets goals for natural gas utilities to incorporate at least 2% renewable gas and other low-carbon fuels into their supply portfolios by 2030, and at least 3% by 2035. The bill allows natural gas utilities to make investments and engage in various activities related to the production and integration of these low-carbon fuels, with the goal of reducing greenhouse gas emissions and supporting the state's transition to a low-carbon energy economy. The Illinois Commerce Commission is tasked with approving and overseeing these utility activities, and with adopting rules to govern the process. The bill also allows for emergency rulemaking to facilitate the timely implementation of the Renewable Gas and Low-Carbon Fuels Act.
