Concerning fair treatment of waste to energy facilities under the climate commitment act.

Summary

The law adds the waste‑to‑energy facility to the list of covered emitters in the Climate Commitment Act, requiring it to meet the same emissions‑allowance system as other large sources. It obligates the plant’s owner to submit a zero‑waste, emissions‑reduction plan and a third‑party cost‑benefit analysis by 2030, and sets penalties if future emission targets are missed. The changes also create price‑ceiling protections for covered entities and clarify permitting and exemption rules.
