Emissions reporting and renewable energy credits (RECs) draft rule language release
Commerce has posted emissions reporting and RECs draft rule language on the CETA rulemaking webpage. The draft rule language will be discussed at Commerce’s April 28 virtual-only workshop on emissions reporting and RECs. Meeting details will be posted in advance of the workshop.
Thermal renewable energy credit (T-RECs) draft language workshop
On April 20, Commerce will host a virtual-only workshop to discuss the draft rules and stakeholder comments. T-RECs represent the use of biomass energy for a secondary (non-power generation) purpose in a combined heat and power facility. They are an alternative compliance option under CETA’s Greenhouse Gas Neutral standard (RCW 19.405.040). The draft rules were discussed at a stakeholder workshop on March 27, and stakeholder comments and materials from the meeting are available on the CETA rulemaking webpage. Details will be provided before the workshop.
