German Cabinet Approves Bill to Phase Out Oil and Gas Heating Systems - Riham Alkousaa and Markus Wacket - Reuters – “The German cabinet on Wednesday approved a bill that bans most new oil and gas heating systems from 2024, the economy minister said, a policy designed to cut greenhouse gas emissions but that critics warned could be costly for poorer households... The plan is part of Germany's ambition to become climate neutral by 2045 as the construction sector was responsible for 112 million tonnes of greenhouse emissions last year or 15% of the country's emissions. Houses could also use heat pumps that run on renewable electricity, district heating, electric heating or solar thermal systems as acceptable alternatives to fossil fuel heating, according to the bill…” To be clear, this is for all heating systems, both in new buildings, and as replacement systems in current buildings. Thanks to Jens Ponikau of Buffalo Geothermal and Zach Fink from ZBF Geothermal for this tip.  Article link here

Major Climate and Energy Policies Being Decided in Albany State Budget Negotiations - Samar Khurshid – Gotham Gazette – This lengthy article, published this morning, gives and in-depth look at the state of budget negotiations related to energy policy. “Already about three weeks late, the state budget has been held up over the governor’s insistence on further changes to the bail law and wrangling with the Legislature over her ambitious 'Housing Compact' agenda. But there is also unresolved debate about many other important topics, including climate and energy policies. The governor, two houses of the Legislature, and advocates have expressed various priorities, some of which may be accomplished in a grand budget deal with other issues that could wait for the post-budget legislative session." (from 2023 04 22 – City & State First Read) Full article here.

Editorial: Greening the State Capitol – Times Union Editorial Board – “… Let's be honest: The year 2040 is basically tomorrow. That’s when, per the Climate Leadership and Community Protection Act, all electricity generated in New York state must be from renewable sources. A kid born today will still be in high school then. In this sense, a proposal to power the state Capitol complex on renewables is not only reasonable, it should be expected — and it’s the right move in more ways than one… So yes, it’s time for the state to walk the walk — and if it can't, to identify what needs to change so it can." Editorial link here

NYS Clean Heat Program 2022 Annual Report – filed by the Joint Utilities and NYSERDA - “In 2022, the NYS Clean Heat Program supported, via incentives, the installation of a total of 22,293 heat pump projects – a nearly threefold increase in projects relative to 2021. More than 80% of these projects were whole home/full load heating projects. Approximately 84% of the 2022 Clean Heat projects were ASHP technologies in residential (1-4 family) buildings and 3% were GSHP technologies in residential buildings. In addition, the Long Island Power Authority (LIPA) supported 7,385 heat pumps in 2022, for a total of more than 29,500 heat pump projects installed in 2022 across New York State…Since the NYS Clean Heat Program launch on April 1, 2020, cumulative program spend has totaled over $613 million and the Program has achieved over 3,225,000 MMBtu of savings as of December 31, 2022… Over 3,900 individuals across the heat pump supply chain were trained toward growing a quality oriented skilled labor force… by the start of 2023 there were 980 Participating Contractors in the program.” Report link here.

Geo is Included in New FAA Control Tower Designs – “The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has selected a sustainable design for new air traffic control towers that will be used primarily at municipal and smaller airports.  The design by Practice for Architecture and Urbanism (PAU) of New York meets key sustainability requirements and can adjust the tower height to meet each airport’s traffic and sightline requirements, while also reducing construction and operational costs.  The design incorporates key sustainability elements, including: all-electric building systems, materials and products free from chemicals known to pose health risks, thermally efficient façade, high-recycled steel and metal products, renewable mass timber when usable, and ground-source heating and cooling in some environments.” Thank to Zach Fink of ZBF Geothermal for this tip, FAA web page here.

Heat Pumps in the United States: Market Potentials, Challenges and Opportunities - Mini Malhotra, Zhenning Li, Xiaobing Liu, Melissa Lapsa, Tony Bouza, Edward Vineyard, Brian Fricke, USA – Oak Ridge National Laboratory - VOL.41 NO 1/2023 HPT MAGAZINE - "The US heat pump market has been affected by the socioeconomic impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic. However, the US administration’s electrification goal accelerates the deployment of heat pumps, and the US heat pump market has experienced steady growth since 2010. In 2020, heat pumps surpassed gas furnace shipments for the first time, and the trend maintained through 2022. The heat pump market share is expected to grow as policies, and financial incentives steer the building sector toward decarbonization. This paper reviews the US heat pump market trends and discusses the challenges and opportunities in the current policy landscape." Report link here.

Also from this report: “Figure 5 shows the annual shipments of ground source heat pumps (GSHP) in the last 20 years. It shows a steady increase from 2003 to 2011, first due to increasing natural gas prices and since 2009, when the federal government started offering tax rebates for GSHP installations. GSHP shipments were apparently affected when tax credits expired in 2016 but jumped back in 2019 when tax credits were reinstated. The GSHP shipment dropped again in 2020 due to the COVID-19 pandemic and the resulting halt in construction activities and supply chain issues. The low natural gas price during the pandemic may also have contributed to the staggering growth of GSHP applications in the US.”

Rethinking Model Energy Codes for Net Zero Carbon Buildings – Michael Waite – ACEE - "Updating building energy codes is a key policy tool for energy efficiency, but achieving ambitious climate goals will require codes to focus on greenhouse gas emissions, not energy usage alone. With $670 million in upcoming federal funding for implementing zero-energy codes, financial support will soon be available to states and localities. States and jurisdictions do not typically develop their own codes, but rather adopt model codes—so rethinking the model energy codes is necessary to help states and jurisdictions across the country cut emissions from buildings. In this post, we’ll look at some of the technical aspects of these codes to orient them toward emissions reductions that will get us on a path to net zero carbon buildings." Article link here.

Note: this graph represents a national model. NY’s lower electric generation emissions and more accurate greenhouse gas accounting method would provide an even more favorable picture for electrification.



NYC To Subsidize Solar Panels for Low-Income Homeowners – Ethan Stark-Miller – amny – “New York City will begin taking its carbon emissions targets into account as part of the budget process and launch a program to subsidize solar panel installations for up to 3,000 low-income homes as part of a new long term climate plan Mayor Eric Adams’ office released on Thursday (4/20)… Public Solar would give homeowners the opportunity to lease their rooftops to the city for solar panel installation at no cost, while allowing them to reap some of the financial benefits from the energy the panels produce…(City Comptroller Bruce) Lander said the program will make solar panels available to communities that have traditionally not been able to use them because of the prohibitive cost of installation — which can run between $15,000 to $25,000. ‘We plan to apply to its Greenhouse Gas Reduction Fund for the resources to make it possible for 3,000 homeowners to install rooftop solar, in many cases, at no cost whatsoever to them,’ Lander said. ‘Because the city will come and do it and that will make it possible for low and moderate income homeowners to get rooftop solar.’ ” Article link here.

Court Overturns Berkeley’s Landmark Gas Ban in New Construction, Ripple Effects May Be Limited – Maria Gallucci – Canary Media – “…the ruling applies to the specific way Berkeley structured its gas-hookup ban — by using its authority to regulate residents’ health and safety. More than 100 municipalities across the country have passed policies to curb planet-warming emissions from buildings, though only about 25 cities in California have followed Berkeley’s approach, according to the Building Decarbonization Coalition. ‘Local governments are still allowed to require or strongly incentivize all-electric construction in their building codes, so long as they do it in a particular way,’ Amy Turner, a senior fellow at Columbia University’s Sabin Center for Climate Change Law, told Canary Media. In contrast with Berkeley’s approach, most of these so-called gas bans are written into local building codes or air emissions standards. ‘My hope is that states and local governments realize that this is a fairly limited ruling, and that they still have ample authority to regulate natural gas use and to regulate all-electric construction,’ Turner said.” Article link here.

Energy & Environment Power 100 - City & State -Ever wonder what some of the folks you read about regarding energy issues look like? According to City & State, their “Energy & Environment Power 100 list puts a spotlight on the most influential individuals in New York’s vibrant energy industry and the state’s thriving environmental movement as well as the government officials who are determining where all of us get our power.” Link to the list featuring pictures of most of the individuals here.

“Earth-Mounted” Solar Panels – Eric Wesoff – Canary Media – Since June of 2021, Erthos has deployed 3 MW of solar panels directly on the ground (no elevated steel racking or trackers) in CA’s Central Valley. Erthos claims the deployment technique can reduce utility solar costs by 20%. Per Erthos, despite this winter’s historically foul weather, an example 617 KW installation: “performed within 1 percent of predicted energy [generation], so it’s working as intended.” Erthos has announced a 100 MW utility-scale project in Texas. Full story here, including pics of “Erthbot”, the cute panel cleaning robot

Chipotle Plans to Ditch Gas Grills at 100 New Locations – Justine Calma – The Verge - “Chipotle is switching from gas to electric grills at many of its locations as part of a plan to design more environmentally sustainable restaurants. In 2024, Chipotle plans to open up at least 100 new locations that 'utilize all-electric equipment,'the company announced yesterday. The fast food chain has a goal of slashing its greenhouse gas emissions in half by 2030, which is in line with what’s needed globally to meet the goals of the Paris climate agreement.” Tip from Peter Jensen at the National Building Electrification Network and Sunstone Strategies. Article link here.

2023 RHN Legislative and Budget Agenda - The Renewable Heat Now Campaign (RHN) is organizing to win funding and policies that will move fossil fuels out of our buildings affordably and equitably. The legislative package includes the All-Electric New Building Act (S00562-A/A00920-A - Kavanaugh/Gallagher) that would sunset fossil fuels in new construction starting January 1, 2024. It also includes the NY Home Energy Equitable Transition (HEAT) Act – (S2016/A4592 – Krueger/Fahy) and the Energy Efficiency, Equity and Jobs Act (S3126c/A3996c – Parker/Hunter). In addition, RHN has also released an agenda for the NYS budget, which is currently being negotiated by the Governor and the Legislature.

Climate Updates:

We're in for a Stretch of Heavy Climate – Bill McKibben – The Crucial Years – “Ominous signs that the next step phase of global warming is starting;.. Most of the El Niño models are predicting a weak to moderate strength El Niño event forming by late summer, with the dynamical model consensus favoring a borderline weak/moderate event for the peak of hurricane season. Toward the end of the year, the odds of a strong El Niño will be as high as 40%, according to the NOAA discussion…’It’s very likely that the next big El Niño could take us over 1.5C,’ said Prof Adam Scaife, the head of long-range prediction at the UK Met Office. ‘The probability of having the first year at 1.5C in the next five-year period is now about 50:50.’ As this happens, novel forms of chaos will ensue. No human has ever left us a shred of evidence about what life is like on a globe with these average temperatures.”  Article link here.

Four Fossil Fuel Giants With Most Emissions Paid $1.18 Billion to CEOs in Last Decade – Derek Seidman – Truthout – “Over the past decade, the four U.S. oil and gas corporations that contributed most to industrial greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions from 1988 to 2015 showered their CEOs with nearly $1.2 billion in compensation, according to a Truthout analysis of corporate disclosures…We added up total CEO compensation as reported in company proxy statements, which includes base pay, stock awards and bonuses, as well as reported golden parachutes. The …corporations included four major oil and gas companies — ExxonMobil, Chevron, ConocoPhillips and Anadarko (now Occidental) — who disclosed payments of $1.18 billion in CEO pay between 2013 and 2022.”  Article link here.

Yes in Our Backyards – Bill McKibben – Mother Jones – “It’s time progressives like me learned to love the green building boom.  I’m an environmentalist, which means I’ve got some practice in saying no.  It’s what we do: John Muir saying no to the destruction of Yosemite helped kick off environmentalism; Rachel Carson said no to DDT; the Sierra Club said no to the damming of the Grand Canyon… In a world where giant corporations, and the governments they too often control, ceaselessly do dangerous and unnecessary things, saying no is a valuable survival skill for civilizations… But we’re at a hinge moment now, when solving our biggest problems—environmental but also social—means we need to say yes to some things: solar panels and wind turbines and factories to make batteries and mines to extract lithium.  And new affordable housing that will make cities denser and more efficient while cutting the ruinous price of housing.  And—well, it’s a long list.  And in every case, there are both benefits and costs, all played out in particular places with particular histories.  But what interests me is the search for some general principles that might make these disputes easier, at least for people of good will." Article link here .
