Bill > S2090

This bill aims to incorporate embodied carbon into Massachusetts' state climate policy. It establishes an Embodied Carbon Advisory Board to provide guidance and recommendations on measuring, tracking, and reducing embodied carbon in buildings and infrastructure. The bill requires the Department of Energy Resources to conduct an assessment of industry literacy on embodied carbon and provide recommendations for advancing this knowledge. The bill also mandates the incorporation of embodied carbon reduction measures into the state's stretch energy code and building codes. Additionally, the bill requires the Massachusetts State Climate Chief to submit a report on policy mechanisms to measure, monitor, and reduce embodied carbon across all building types in the Commonwealth.
