Toxic biomass will soon qualify as a “non-carbon emitting source” for the MLP (Municipal Light Plant) Greenhouse Gas Emissions Standard unless the Legislature passes (S.2288/H.3549), An Act to remove woody biomass from the greenhouse gas emissions standard for municipal lighting plants.
*TheJoint Committee on Telecommunications, Utilities, and Energy
Removing biomass from the Greenhouse Gas Emissions Standard would take away the incentive for MLPs to enter into new contracts to finance the Palmer biomass plant.
