Concerning fair treatment of waste to energy facilities under the climate commitment act.
SB 6092 creates a specific allowance for Washington State's only waste-to-energy facility under the climate cap-and-invest program. It grants the facility "no cost" emissions allowances equal to 100% of its greenhouse gas emissions for the first two compliance periods (starting 2027), then 97% for the third period, and declines by 3% each subsequent period. This policy directly affects only the state's single waste-to-energy plant, treating it equivalently to other waste management systems under the climate law. The allowances are calculated based on the facility's annual emissions reports and adjusted to ensure compliance with the state's climate program requirements.
