LPDD Model Law: State Renewable Gas Standard
This LPDD model state legislation addresses renewable portfolio standards with respect to renewable gas. The model legislation was prepared based on California’s proposed SB 687, which would have established a renewable gas standard requiring an average carbon intensity reduction of 1% in 2020, increasing to 10% by 2030. The annotated model legislation includes ranges for potential standards because different states will have different availability, feasibility, and costs associated with producing renewable gas in state.
