2023-S5817 - Summary

Relates to bioheating fuel requirements; allows B100 or B99 biofuel and R100 or R99 renewable fuel to be used to blend with or replace fossil heating oil in order to create bioheating fuel.

BILL NUMBER: S5817

SPONSOR: PARKER
 
TITLE OF BILL:

An act to amend the environmental conservation law, in relation to
bioheating fuel requirements

 
PURPOSE:

This legislation amends the environmental conservation law to increase
the minimum content requirements of biodiesel present in all bioheating
fuel sold in the state.

 
SUMMARY OF SPECIFIC PROVISIONS:

Section 1 amends section 19-0327 of the environmental conservation law's
subdivision 1 and subdivision 9.

Subsection 1 of section 19-0327 sets forth the appropriate definitions.
Biofuel shall mean designated 8100 or R100, that meets the proper ASTM
specifications.

Subsection 2-5 of section 19-0327 set forth the date and mandates the
minimum content percentage of biofuel present in bioheating fuel sold
for use by 2025, 2030 and 2040.

Section 2 sets forth the effective date.

 
JUSTIFICATION:

This bill would allow both B100 biodiesel and R100 renewable diesel to
be used to blend with or replace fossil "heating oil" in order to create
"bioheating fuel" and sets forth the minimum percentage requirements.
Such designations would meet the bioheating fuel requirements of the
environmental conservation law. R100 and B100 are both grades of pure
and unblended biomass-based diesel. B100 is the grade of fuel allowed
under current New York law to be used to meet the blending requirements
for "bioheating fuel." Adding R100 as an option would increase economic
and supply optionality for the marketplace, add value for the full
supply chain, and positively contribute to the environmental goals of
the recently enacted bioheating fuel requirements.

 
LEGISLATIVE HISTORY:

2021-22: S9014A - AMENDED AND RECOMMITTED TO ENVIRONMENTAL CONSERVATION

This act shall take effect immediately

   THE  PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, REPRESENTED IN SENATE AND ASSEM-
 BLY, DO ENACT AS FOLLOWS:
 
   Section 1. Section 19-0327 of the environmental conservation  law,  as
 amended by chapter 750 of the laws of 2021, paragraph (b) of subdivision
 1  and  subdivision  9  as  amended by chapter 5 of the laws of 2022, is
 amended to read as follows:
 § 19-0327. Bioheating fuel requirements.
   (1) Definitions. For the purpose of this section, the following  terms
 shall have the following meanings:
   (a)  ["Biodiesel"]  "BIOFUEL"  shall  mean  a fuel, designated B100 OR
 R100, that meets the requirements of the ASTM  international  specifica-
 tion  D6751  OR THE REQUIREMENTS OF THE ASTM INTERNATIONAL SPECIFICATION
 D975.
   (b) ["Renewable Hydrocarbon Diesel" shall mean a  North  American-pro-
 duced fuel derived from vegetable oils, animal fats, and other renewable
 feedstocks  that  meet the requirements of ASTM international specifica-
 tion D975. Renewable hydrocarbon shall not include any fuel from co-pro-
 cessed biomass with a feedstock that is not biomass.
   (c)] "Bioheating fuel" shall mean a fuel, DESIGNATED  B100,  comprised
 of [biodiesel] BIOFUEL blended with petroleum heating oil that meets the
 requirements  of  the  ASTM  international  specification  D396,  a fuel
 comprised of domestically-produced [renewable hydrocarbon  diesel]  R100
 with  petroleum heating oil that meets the specifications of ASTM inter-
 national specification D975, or other specifications  as  determined  by
 the commissioner.
   [(d)]  (C)  "Heating  oil"  shall  mean  petroleum oil refined for the
 purpose of use as fuel for combustion in a space  and/or  water  heating
 
  EXPLANATION--Matter in ITALICS (underscored) is new; matter in brackets
                       [ ] is old law to be omitted.

 system  that  meets  the  requirements  of the [ATSM] ASTM international
 specification D396 or other specifications as determined by the  commis-
 sioner.
   [(e)]  (D)  "Feedstock"  shall mean soybean oil, oil from annual cover
 crops, algal oil, biogenic waste oils,  fats  or  greases,  or  non-food
 grade  corn  oil, provided that the commissioner may, by rules and regu-
 lations, modify the definition of feedstock based on the vegetable oils,
 animal fats or cellulosic biomass listed in  table  1  of  40  C.F.R.  §
 80.1426.
   (2)  On  and  after July first, two thousand eighteen, all heating oil
 sold for use in any building within the counties of Nassau, Suffolk  and
 Westchester shall be bioheating fuel that contains at least five percent
 [biodiesel] BIOFUEL.
   (3)  On  or after July first, two thousand twenty-two, all heating oil
 sold for use in any building within the state shall be  bioheating  fuel
 that contains at least five percent [biodiesel] BIOFUEL.
   (4)  On or after July first, two thousand twenty-five, all heating oil

 that contains at least ten percent [biodiesel] BIOFUEL.
   (5)  On or after July first, two thousand thirty, all heating oil sold

 contains at least twenty percent [biodiesel] BIOFUEL.
   (6)  The  minimum content requirements of this section shall not apply

   (7) The governor may,  by  issuing  an  executive  order,  temporarily
 suspend  the  applicability  of  this  section  at any time based on the
 governor's determination, after consulting with the New York state ener-
 gy research and development authority and the department,  that  meeting
 the  requirement  of subdivision two of this section is not feasible due
 to lack of adequate supply of [biodiesel] BIOFUEL or  that  meeting  the
 requirement would result in financial hardship to consumers.
   (8)  The requirements of this section shall not: (a) prohibit the sale
 and use of bioheating fuel with the same or any  greater  percentage  of
 [biodiesel] BIOFUEL blended with heating oil, or the sale and use of one
 hundred  percent  [biodiesel]  BIOFUEL,  for  space and/or water heating
 purposes in the state; and (b) preempt any laws of the city of New  York
 with respect to mandated percentage levels of [biodiesel] BIOFUEL blends
 with  heating  oil  provided  that such laws require the same or greater
 percentage of [biodiesel] BIOFUEL blended with heating oil  as  required
 by this section.
   (9) No bioheating fuel shall be sold to a customer that would void the
 manufacturer's  warranty  for  that  burner  or  boiler  type unless the
 bioheat provider warranties in writing to the customer that the  use  of
 such  bioheating  fuel  will be covered to the extent and time limits of
 the warranty then covering such burner or boiler.
   § 2. This act shall take effect immediately.
