New Jersey’s A2371 (2020) amends the state RPS’s definition of “Class I renewable energy” to include methane gas from a biomass facility (provided that the biomass is cultivated and harvested in a sustainable manner), and methane gas from a composting, anaerobic or aerobic digestion facility that converts food waste or other organic waste to energy.
The bill also requires large food waste generators to separate and recycle food waste.
