EO 13624
Tasked various agencies with developing policies to encourage investment in industrial efficiency, including the expansion of industrial CHP technologies at food processing, pulp and paper, chemicals, metals, and oil refining operations.
LPDD Recommendation: “State legislatures should include combined heat and power in their state RPS or energy-efficiency resource standards. State legislatures should provide in their RPS a stronger incentive for CHP facilities that are fueled by biogas rather than natural gas. State legislatures should take the further step of including in their RPS a specific carve-out for purchases from CHP facilities.”
