Summary

This bill would require the Department of Citywide Administrative Services to study the feasibility of using renewable diesel to heat buildings, both publicly and privately owned. The study would: assess potential benefits of and barriers to using renewable diesel for heating; assess whether such use would affect compliance with the City’s electrification and climate change policies; and recommend new policies related to the use of renewable diesel for heating. The study would be due to the Mayor, to the Speaker, and on the Department’s website within 1 year after this bill becomes law.
