New York S02471 aligns the state's greenhouse gas emission accounting system with the IPCC accounting system.

New York S02471 amends the environmental conservation law and public service law to align the state's greenhouse gas emission accounting system with the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) accounting system. The bill mandates the Department of Environmental Conservation to issue annual reports on statewide greenhouse gas emissions, expressed in tons of carbon dioxide equivalents. These reports must utilize the Argonne GREET model and include comprehensive evaluations of emissions from various sources, such as fossil fuels, manufacturing, and chemical production.
