HB 1682: Business emissions reduction

Concerning a compliance pathway specific to emissions-intensive, trade-exposed businesses for achieving their proportionate share of the state's emissions reduction limits through 2050.

Summary

  • Eliminates restrictions on state expenditures of Climate Commitment Act Cap-and-Invest Program (Program) revenues that would take effect April 1, 2023, unless the Legislature enacts Department of Ecology (Ecology) agency-request legislation outlining a compliance pathway for Emissions-Intensive Trade-Exposed (EITE) facilities through 2050.
  • Authorizes the use of Program revenues deposited in the Climate Commitment Account for programs, activities, or projects that reduce EITE facility emissions for which the facility has a compliance obligation under the Program.
  • Amends the deadline and scope of a current-law Ecology EITE report, and authorizes Ecology to make upwards adjustments to EITE allowance allocations only after the completion of the report.
  • Exempts certain district energy facilities from Cap-and-Invest program participation requirements during the first compliance period, and requires Ecology to determine their compliance obligation and any allowance allocation prior to the second compliance period.
  • Authorizes Ecology to demand information from EITE facilities related to greenhouse gas emissions and facility production.
