The Division of Air Quality proposed new rules and amendments as part of a comprehensive strategy to implement relevant provisions of the Global Warming Response Act. The Act requires New Jersey to reduce greenhouse gas emissions to 80% less than the 2006 level by 2050. In particular, this rulemaking seeks to reduce carbon dioxide emissions from: (1) fossil fuel-fired electric generating units through the application of emission limits; (2) commercial and industrial fossil fuel-fired boilers based upon additional permit requirements; and (3) No. 4 and No. 6 fuel oil by banning their sale and use. A hearing will be held February 1, 2022. Comments are due March 6, 2022. See http://www.state.nj.us/oal/rules/accessp.
