Why the biodiesel industry says they'll benefit from the State's Climate Law changes

Rensselaer, NY — This year’s state budget rolled back New York’s 2019 Climate Law, pushing back timelines, changing regulations, and aligning emissions standards with other national and international entities.

“It really gives our fuels now a chance to show their reduction emissions, because before that they weren’t being counted properly,” Kris DeLair, Executive Director of the Empire State Energy Association, says.

Sprague Energies at the Port of Rensselaer has implemented biofuel in their portfolio since 2009, and believe the CLCPA changes can help open up that portion of their work.

“It’ll allow us to educate people a little more,” Peter McHenry, Operations Director at Sprague Energies New York, says. “It’ll help us get the word out there and get people to be using these fuels.”

Stay tuned for more details regarding their biofuels and the impact of the CLCPA changes.
