 STATE OF NEW YORK
 ________________________________________________________________________

 2471

 2025-2026 Regular Sessions

 IN SENATE

 January 21, 2025
 ___________

 Introduced by Sen. PARKER -- read twice and ordered printed, and when
 printed to be committed to the Committee on Environmental Conservation

 AN ACT to amend the environmental conservation law and the public
 service law, in relation to the state greenhouse gas emission account-
 ing system

 The People of the State of New York, represented in Senate and Assem-
 bly, do enact as follows:

 1 Section 1. Subdivision 2, paragraph e of subdivision 10 and subdivi-
 2 sion 13 of section 75-0101 of the environmental conservation law, as
 3 added by chapter 106 of the laws of 2019, are amended to read as
 4 follows:
 5 2. "Carbon dioxide equivalent" means the amount of carbon dioxide by
 6 mass that would produce the same global warming impact as a given mass
 7 of another greenhouse gas over an integrated [twenty-year] one hundred-
 8 year time frame after emission.
 9 e. Anaerobic digesters[, where energy produced is directed toward
 10 localized use];
 11 13. "Statewide greenhouse gas emissions" means the total annual emis-
 12 sions of greenhouse gases produced within the state from anthropogenic
 13 sources [and]; greenhouse gases produced outside of the state that are
 14 associated with the generation of electricity imported into the state;
 15 and greenhouse gases produced outside the state that are associated with
 16 the extraction and transmission of fossil fuels imported into the state.
 17 Statewide emissions shall be expressed in tons of carbon dioxide equiv-
 18 alents on a full life-cycle basis utilizing the Argonne GREET (green-
 19 house gases, regulated emissions, and energy use in technologies) model
 20 for all systems resulting in greenhouse gas emission sources in the
 21 state, including the relative contribution of each type of greenhouse
 22 gas and each type of source to the statewide total.
 23 § 2. Section 75-0105 of the environmental conservation law, as added
 24 by chapter 106 of the laws of 2019, is amended to read as follows:

 EXPLANATION--Matter in italics (underscored) is new; matter in brackets
 [ ] is old law to be omitted.

 S. 2471 2

 1 § 75-0105. Statewide greenhouse gas emissions report.
 2 1. No later than two years after the effective date of this article,
 3 and each year thereafter, the department shall issue a report on state-
 4 wide greenhouse gas emissions, expressed in tons of carbon dioxide
 5 equivalents, [from all] on a full life-cycle basis utilizing the Argonne
 6 GREET (greenhouse gases, regulated emissions, and energy use in technol-
 7 ogies) model for all systems resulting in greenhouse gas emission sourc-
 8 es in the state, including the relative contribution of each type of
 9 greenhouse gas and each type of source to the statewide total.
 10 2. The statewide greenhouse gas emissions report shall be a comprehen-
 11 sive evaluation, informed by a variety of data, including [but not
 12 limited to]:
 13 a. information relating to the use of fossil fuels by sector, includ-
 14 ing for electricity generation, transportation, heating, and other
 15 combustion purposes;
 16 b. information relating to fugitive and vented emissions from systems
 17 associated with the production, processing, transport, distribution,
 18 storage, and consumption of fossil fuels, including natural gas;
 19 c. information relating to emissions from non-fossil fuel sources,
 20 including, but not limited to, garbage incinerators, biomass combustion,
