September 2019 Forests and New Yorks GHG Goals NYs Current GHG Inventory - Six Kyoto gases - 100-Year GWP Emissions (mmt CO 2 e) - Life Cycle Emissions!!! 40% - Omits CO2 from biomass combustion (assumes sequestration)??? -

Forests and New York’s GHG Goals

40% 85%

NY’s Current GHG Inventory

  • Six “Kyoto” gases
  • 100-Year GWP
  • Life Cycle Emissions!!!
  • Omits CO2 from biomass

combustion (assumes sequestration)???

  • Land use, bioenergy and

carbon capture are key???

Bioenergy in the CLCPA

  • Electricity Sector
  • Bioenergy not included in 70% renewable by 2030 goal
  • May contribute to 100% zero carbon by 2040, if “carbon neutral”
  • Need a new Energy Credit, REC redefined.
  • In other sectors
  • Silent with respect to thermal uses, transportation fuels, substitutions
  • New GHG Inventory Requirements are yet to be figured out!
  • Other markets? (e.g., gasification to hydrogen, Mass Timber)
  • Net negative will require CO2 to go somewhere,
  • Potential major role for Carbon Capture & Storage
  • Pressure on growing the forest over management

Bioenergy in the CLCPA

How will ESFPA evaluate policy coming from the Climate Council?:

  • How it helps keep forest as forest?
  • How does it induce private forest landowners to manage forests?
  • How does it help ensure a sustainable source of fiber and timber?
  • How will co-benefits to the environment and society be generated?
  • How can we turn this challenge into a bio-economy benefit?
