Illinois HB5537 modifies deadlines for reducing greenhouse gas emissions from electric generating units and large greenhouse gas-emitting units.
Illinois HB5537 amends the Environmental Protection Act to adjust deadlines for reducing greenhouse gas emissions from electric generating units (EGU) and large greenhouse gas-emitting units. The bill specifies that EGUs and large greenhouse gas-emitting units using coal or oil as fuel must reduce carbon dioxide equivalent emissions to zero by January 1, 2030. Units using gas as fuel must reduce emissions by at least 50% by January 1, 2035. All remaining units must achieve zero emissions by January 1, 2045.
