January 21, 2025 — The Northeast Chapter of the CHP Alliance filed comments with the New York Public Service Commission regarding the Climate Leadership and Community Protection Act (CLCPA). The Chapter heartily endorses the CLCPA’s mission but argues the PSC staff’s proposed definitions of key terms are insufficient to meet its core objective since they would render energy resources fed by renewable natural gas (“RNG”), biogas, hydrogen, or other low carbon intensity bio-based fuels as ineligible for renewable energy procurements under the proposed “zero emissions” definition. The Chapter strongly believes systems and technologies fed by a demonstrably net zero gaseous or liquid resource should be eligible for renewable energy procurements as long as they provide verified carbon savings. CHP systems fed by these fuels should be properly recognized for their efficient use of energy resources.
