Summary
By December 31, 2024, would have required CARB to establish a certification standard for natural gas producing low-methane emissions, and consider existing third-party natural gas certification standards during development. This bill also would have required CARB to encourage natural gas procurement on behalf of the State to shift to certified natural gas producing low methane emissions, where feasible, cost effective, and in the best interests of ratepayers. Held on suspense in the Assembly Appropriations Committee.
