SCR 132 New Jersey Senate · 2024-2025 Regular Session

Recognizes role of natural gas in New Jersey's energy policy goals and declares natural gas clean fuel.

This concurrent resolution (SCR 132) declares natural gas a "clean fuel" and recognizes its role in New Jersey's energy policy goals. It states natural gas has lower carbon dioxide emissions per unit of energy compared to coal and oil (citing the Energy Information Administration) and supports its use in transportation, electricity, and heating to reduce emissions. The resolution does not change regulations but formally positions natural gas as part of the state's strategy for meeting greenhouse gas reduction targets. It directs copies to the Governor and the Board of Public Utilities for awareness. (Note: This is a symbolic declaration, not a binding law affecting regulations or funding.)
