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???

SLIDE 11

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

SLIDE 12

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?
