Recently, the Massachusetts Commission on Clean Heat issued their final report to the Baker-Polito Administration, offering strategies and policies to achieve deep emissions reductions from the use of heating fuels in the Commonwealth. The far-reaching recommendations include creation of a Building Decarbonization Clearinghouse to consolidate and integrate building owner incentives and technical assistance; creation of a Clean Heat Standard that would mandate emissions reductions by fossil fuel heating suppliers; creation of a Massachusetts Climate Bank; and implementation of joint electricity and natural gas system planning by the Department of Public Utilities.
