100% Renewables (SB 100)
BILL SUMMARY:
California has one of the cleanest economies of the world. Since the passage of AB 32 in 2006, California's economy has grown faster than the national average while reducing carbon intensity 40% below 1990 levels. California has done all this while lowering energy bills, improving air quality and creating thousands of new, high wage jobs in the clean energy sector. California continues its fight against climate change with SB 100. SB 100 does all of the following:
1. Establishes an overall state target of 100% clean energy for California by 2045 by directing the CA Public Utilities Commission, CA Energy Commission, and Air Resources Board to adopt policies and requirements to achieve total reliance on renewable energy and zero carbon resources by that date.
2. Accelerates SB 350?s 50% mandate for clean renewable energy from 2030 to 2026 and establishes a new RPS benchmark of 60% by 2030 to ensure more clean energy in the California grid sooner.
3. Establishes new policies for energy companies to capture uncontrolled methane emissions from dairies, landfills and waste water treatment plants and use these clean renewable fuels to replace natural gas.
4. Authorizes investor owned utilities to invest in cleaner transportation fuels such as hydrogen or waste methane gas from dairies for heavy duty trucks to replace dirty diesel fuels, provided there are no other cleaner options such as zero emission vehicles available.
