AN ACT to amend the environmental conservation law, in relation to establishing the "clean fuel standard of 2025"
AI Summary
This bill establishes a Clean Fuel Standard of 2025 to reduce greenhouse gas emissions from New York's transportation sector by 20% by 2033, with the goal of addressing climate change and improving air quality. The standard applies to all transportation fuel providers, including electricity suppliers, and will be measured on a full lifecycle basis using a market-based credit system that allows providers exceeding performance requirements to trade credits. The regulations, to be developed within 24 months by the Department of Environmental Conservation in consultation with the New York State Energy Research and Development Authority, will require fuel providers to disclose comprehensive information about their fuel's emissions and impose penalties for non-compliance. The bill emphasizes equity by mandating that 40% of electric transportation credits and investments benefit disadvantaged communities through programs like electric vehicle infrastructure, school bus electrification, and multilingual outreach. The standard is technology-neutral and considers not just greenhouse gas emissions but also other environmental impacts like land use changes. Aviation fuels are exempted from direct regulation but can opt-in to generate credits. The bill aligns with the state's Climate Leadership and Community Protection Act and aims to coordinate with other Northeastern states to reduce regional emissions.
