Proposed Final RPS Biomass Regulation
This proposed final regulation follows over two years of evaluation, public input, and careful considerations of how woody biomass should qualify for the state RPS program in a manner that is consistent with the Commonwealth’s commitments to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and to protect the broad range of human and ecological services of the forests.
Heating with Renewable Energy
The Massachusetts Renewable Heating and Cooling: Opportunities and Impacts Study calls for renewable thermal systems for homes and businesses to play a key role in the Commonwealth’s reduction of greenhouse gas emissions. It examines the technical status, cost effectiveness, market barriers, and greenhouse gas benefits associated with four promising and emerging renewable thermal technologies.
