| 1 | + | CALIFORNIA LEGISLATURE 20232024 REGULAR SESSION Assembly Bill No. 2008Introduced by Assembly Member WallisJanuary 31, 2024 An act to add Chapter 7.10 (commencing with Section 25698) to Division 15 of the Public Resources Code, relating to energy. LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGESTAB 2008, as introduced, Wallis. Hard to Decarbonize Program.Existing law requires the State Energy Resources Conservation and Development Commission to encourage the balanced use of all sources of energy to meet the states needs. Existing law requires the commission to administer the Clean Transportation Program to develop and deploy innovative technologies that transform Californias fuel and vehicle types to help attain the states climate change policies. This bill would require the commission, upon appropriation for the bills purpose, to establish and implement the Hard to Decarbonize Program to provide financial incentives for purchasing renewable propane, renewable hydrogen, or renewable dimethyl ether to customers in heating dominant climate zones in California where combustion fuels will continue to be the lowest cost and most effective means for providing space and water heating to buildings, as provided.Digest Key Vote: MAJORITY Appropriation: NO Fiscal Committee: YES Local Program: NO Bill TextThe people of the State of California do enact as follows:SECTION 1. Chapter 7.10 (commencing with Section 25698) is added to Division 15 of the Public Resources Code, to read: CHAPTER 7.10. Hard to Decarbonize Program25698. For purposes of this chapter, the following definitions apply:(a) Eligible customer means a customer in a hard-to-decarbonize climate zone.(b) Hard-to-decarbonize climate zone means a heating dominant climate zone in California where combustion fuels will continue to be the lowest cost and most effective means for providing space and water heating to buildings.(c) Liquefied petroleum gas has the same meaning as defined in Section 380 of the Vehicle Code.(d) Renewable DME means dimethyl ether derived from renewable feedstock.(e) Renewable hydrogen means hydrogen derived through any of the following processes:(1) Electrolysis of water or aqueous solution using renewable electricity.(2) Catalytic cracking or steam methane reforming of biomethane.(3) Thermochemical conversion of biomass, including the organic portion of municipal solid waste.(f) (1) Renewable propane means a low-pressure liquefied gas comprised of propane derived from a nonpetroleum or renewable feedstock and other molecules derived from a nonpetroleum, biogenic, or renewable source, which may include renewable DME or renewable hydrogen.(2) Renewable propane includes products such as biopropane, bioLPG, renewable LPG, or rLPG, if they satisfy the definition in paragraph (1).25698.1. The commission shall, upon appropriation for this purpose, establish and implement the Hard to Decarbonize Program to provide financial incentives to an eligible customer who purchases any of following:(a) Renewable propane derived entirely from renewable feedstock.(b) Renewable hydrogen produced for blending with propane, liquefied petroleum gas, or renewable propane.(c) Renewable DME produced for blending with propane, liquefied petroleum gas, or renewable propane. | |
