Enacts the renewable natural gas standard act

Summary

The bill creates a renewable natural gas (RNG) standard requiring gas companies to buy increasing shares of RNG for their customers, starting at 5% in 2027 and rising to 25% by 2051. It aims to cut greenhouse‑gas emissions, support local farms and waste facilities, and help New York meet its climate goals. The Public Service Commission will design a program with cost recovery, verification, and incentives, and may grant waivers if supply is insufficient.
