HB2416 provides no-cost greenhouse gas allowances to Washington's waste-to-energy facility under the Climate Commitment Act.

HB2416 amends the Climate Commitment Act to ensure fair treatment of the state's waste-to-energy facility by providing it with no-cost greenhouse gas allowances. The Department of Ecology must allocate these allowances based on the facility's emissions, ensuring it emits fewer greenhouse gases than landfill alternatives. The bill mandates that the facility receive 100% of its emissions allowances at no cost until the end of the second compliance period, with a gradual reduction in subsequent periods.
