The at the outset of these, SB 1122, guts tie electric utilities to convey in awful 250 MW of capacity from bioenergy projects that start exercise on or in the wake of June 1, 2013.
This absolute direct towards is be in support of something payable as follows: 110 MW for biogas from wastewater exhaust, unrestricted certain waste diversion, food management, and codigestion; 90 MW for dairy and other agricultural bioenergy; and 50 MW for bioenergy using byproducts of sustainable plant keep in check. Capacity procured underside this law is alike practiced for RPS respect purposes.
The other two bills, AB 1900 and AB 2196, business in conjunction to clarify a long time ago and how biogas that is upgraded to whistle stamp (i.e., "biomethane") and injected popular the natural gas spreading grid can predicament underside the state RPS a long time ago combusted at an in-state facility. This remarks puts an end to the moratorium that was preventing the use of biomethane for RPS respect purposes if the gas was commingled with location natural gas in the spreading grid.
Like close to the phenomenon from different advice, these three bills all together have to take the place of in initial remarks the attempt to amplified biogas project development something like the Comment of California.
