State Legislation: Renewable Gas Mandate for Utilities.

The State: Colorado

The legislation: SB20-150 (2021 | CO)

What are we talking about renewable gas?

  • compel utilities to capture and consume gas to produce electricity
  • by tapping into energy generated from the methane emissions of coal mines, natural coalbeds, landfills, wastewater treatment plants and agricultural operations

Environmentalist opposition says biogas isn’t all that because it promotes the growth of polluting industries like factory farming
