Minnesota SF2018 includes certain uses of B100 fuel as a carbon-free energy technology.

Minnesota SF2018 amends the state's statutes to include certain uses of B100 fuel as a carbon-free energy technology. This bill modifies the definition of carbon-free energy technology to include electricity generated by a peaking facility using only biodiesel fuel for the first 400 hours each year. The legislation also sets standards for electric utilities to generate or procure electricity from carbon-free technologies, aiming for 80% for public utilities and 60% for other utilities by 2030, 90% by 2035, and 100% by 2040.
