Bill > H3267

This bill directs the Massachusetts Department of Energy Resources to conduct a comprehensive study on the impacts of waste-to-energy facilities on electric generation and emissions in the state. The study will examine greenhouse gas emission levels under different scenarios of increased waste-to-energy capacity. The Department is also directed to investigate the impacts of modifying the moratorium on municipal solid waste combustion facilities to allow for converting municipal solid waste to energy. Additionally, the bill requires the Department of Environmental Protection to promulgate further regulations to the Commercial Food Material Disposal Ban, decreasing the amount of commercial organic waste that businesses and institutions can dispose of from one ton to 1,000 pounds per week.
