JUMP TO FULL CODE CHAPTER

The annual building emissions of a covered building in accordance with this section, greenhouse gas emissions shall be calculated as follows for calendar years 2024 through 2029:

Utility electricity consumed on the premises of a covered building that is delivered to the building via the electric grid shall be calculated as generating 0.000288962 tCO₂e per kilowatt hour or, at the owner's option,shall be calculated based on time of use in accordance with referenced emissions factors promulgated by rules of the department. The department, in consultation with the office of long term planning and sustainability, shall promulgate rules governing the calculation of greenhouse gas emissions for campus-style electric systems that share on-site generation but make use of the utility distribution system and for buildings that are not connected to the utility distribution system.
Natural gas combusted on the premises of a covered building shall be calculated as generating 0.00005311 tCO₂e per kbtu.
#2 fuel oil combusted on the premises of a covered building shall be calculated as generating 0.00007421 tCO₂e per kbtu.
#4 fuel oil combusted on the premises of a covered building shall be calculated as generating 0.00007529 tCO₂e per kbtu.
District steam consumed on the premises of a covered building shall be calculated as generating 0.00004493 tCO₂e per kbtu.
The amount of greenhouse gas emissions attributable to natural gas powered fuel cells shall be credited compared to the electricity grid marginal emissions factor that will be determined by the commissioner and promulgated into rules of the department.
Exception: Natural gas powered fuel cells that commence operation prior to the later of January 1, 2023 or the promulgation of such rules, shall be credited compared to the electricity grid marginal emissions factor published in the most recent New York state energy research and development authority renewable energy standard program impact evaluation and clean energy standard triennial review; or a successor to such report issued by the New York state energy research and development authority.
The amount of greenhouse gas emissions attributable to other energy sources, including but not limited to distributed energy resources, shall be determined by the commissioner and promulgated into rules of the department.
