Bill Summary

To require that biodiesel constitute not less than fifty per cent of the home heating oil in the state prior to the year 2035.

AI Summary

This bill aims to mandate that home heating oil in the state must contain at least 50% biodiesel by the year 2035. Biodiesel is a renewable fuel made from vegetable oils, animal fats, or recycled cooking oils that can be used in heating systems as an alternative to traditional petroleum-based heating oil. The proposed legislation would require fuel providers to gradually increase the percentage of biodiesel in home heating oil blends, with the goal of reducing greenhouse gas emissions and promoting the use of more environmentally friendly fuel sources. By setting a clear target date and a specific biodiesel percentage, the bill seeks to support the state's clean energy objectives and potentially reduce the carbon footprint of residential heating.
