States working toward low-carbon fuel standard

January

New York and 10 other states have agreed to cooperate to develop a low-carbon fuel standard in an effort to cut greenhouse gas emissions from motor and home-heating fuels.

“The 11 states . . . will work together to create an emissions-performance standard that will eventually provide incentives for energy providers to use low-carbon fuel – which will result in the use of fewer greenhouse gases and aid in the fight against global warming.”

The above is from the state Department of Environmental Conservation’s announcement today about the matter.

The other states involved are Connecticut, Delaware, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, and Vermont.
