low-carbon fuel blends for heating oil and effects on greenhouse gas emissions, beginning with the next CES approved after October 1, 2021. The bill eliminates the Distillate Advisory Board, which, under current law, is a six-member board within the Department of Consumer Protection( DCP).
Under current law, if biodiesel blending requirements take effect, the board is tasked with advising the DCP commissioner on related issues, receiving petitions to waive biodiesel blending requirements in certain circumstances, and annually reporting to the Energy and Technology and Environment committees on related issues.
Under the bill, minimum biodiesel percentage requirements take effect on the following schedule, each July 1: 1. 5 % in 2022, 2. 10 % in 2025, 3. 15 % in 2030, 4. 20 % in 2034, and 5. 50 % in 2035.

NEW WAVE OF MARINE FUELS
In 2023 the transportation sector accounted for about 95 % of nearly 46 million barrels of biodiesel consumed in the U. S. – EIA estimate
Under the bill, heating oil meeting these requirements is a low-carbon fuel blend, meaning a fuel meeting the standards for advanced biofuels under the federal Renewable Fuel Standard Program, requiring a 50 % reduction in lifecycle greenhouse gas emissions, including qualifying biodiesel meeting the most recent version of ASTM International designation D6751. l FON
