Minnesota HF2681 classifies certain uses of B100 fuel as a carbon-free energy technology.

Minnesota HF2681 amends the state's energy regulations to include certain uses of B100 fuel as a carbon-free energy technology. This change affects electric utilities by requiring them to generate or procure electricity from carbon-free technologies. The bill specifies that electricity generated by a peaking facility using only biodiesel fuel for the first 400 hours each year is considered carbon-free. This provision is part of the broader mandate for electric utilities to meet increasing percentages of carbon-free energy standards by 2030, 2035, and 2040.
