BILL NUMBER:A249 TITLE OF BILL: An act to amend the public authorities law, in relation to creating a New York state greenhouse gases management research and development program PURPOSE: To provide grants to research entities in New York State for research that promotes new technologies to avoid, abate, mitigate, capture and/or sequester carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases. SUMMARY OF PROVISIONS:Section 1 defines the legislative intent. Section 2 amends the public authorities law by adding a new section 1884 to establish the New York state greenhouse gases management research and development program; establishes reporting requirements. Section 3 establishes an effective date. JUSTIFICATION: New York State is a major contributor of greenhouse gases and an important player in the global economy. New York State is also home to a vast number of research institutions that have already taken a leadership role and have initiated research into global warming and climate change issues. While substantial effort has been devoted to the important task of developing alternative energy source and energy conservation, there continues to be serious concern with the amount of greenhouse gases released into the atmosphere. Insufficient research is being undertaken

MAGNARELLI, CLARK, COLTON, MARKEY, PHEFFER, ROBINSON, WRIGHT, HEVESI, LUPARDO, JAFFEE, SWEENEY -- Multi-Sponsored by -- M. of A. GOTTFRIED, GUNTHER, HOOPER, JOHN, KOON, LATIMER, MAISEL, McENENY, PERRY, WEISENBERG -- read once and referred to the Committee on Corporations, Authorities and Commissions AN ACT to amend the public authorities law, in relation to creating a New York state greenhouse gases management research and development program THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, REPRESENTED IN SENATE AND ASSEM- BLY, DO ENACT AS FOLLOWS: Section 1. Legislative intent. The legislature hereby finds and declares that global climate change is a matter of significant concern for the environment, economy and people of this state. The legislature hereby establishes a research program under the auspices of the New York state energy research and development authority by one or more universi- ties or research entities within the state. The research program shall promote new technologies and processes that will avoid, abate, mitigate, capture or sequester carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases. According to numerous scientific researchers, a warming trend of about 0.7 to 1.5 degrees Fahrenheit has occurred during the twentieth century. The major greenhouse gases emitted by human activities remain in the atmosphere for periods of time ranging from decades to centuries. Many in the scientific community anticipate that average global temperatures and sea levels will continue to rise throughout the twenty-first century as a result of a continued rise in atmospheric concentrations of green- house gases. While the build-up of all of the greenhouse gases into the atmosphere is important to study, promoting the development of methods and proc- esses to mitigate the buildup of carbon dioxide is of great concern. Carbon dioxide is emitted into the atmosphere in the largest amounts EXPLANATION--Matter in ITALICS (underscored) is new; matter in brackets [ ] is old law to be omitted.
