Legislative Campaign
This bill can stop biomass subsidies & prevent deadly pollution!
Please use the Action Network to write a letter to your own legislators and relevant committee members, and call your legislators and urge them to co-sponsor S2288/H3549 to remove incentives for biomass energy. Thank you - and please check back for updates!
In the 2025-2026 legislative session, No Toxic Biomass urges passage of the following legislation:
This bill closes a loophole allowing local, publicly-owned utilities to count biomass toward climate and clean energy goals. The legislation amends the 2021 Climate Roadmap law to remove biomass from the list of “non-carbon emitting sources” that municipal lighting plants can use to meet the new MLP greenhouse gas emission standard.
