Question Title

* 9. If your company has done any internal strategic planning to assess and develop a plan to comply with CLCPA requirements, please answer the following:

What are your additional capital and O/M costs to convert your building, and processes to 100% carbon free energy?

What are your additional capital and O/M costs to convert your transportation fleet to 100% carbon free?

What other costs, not discussed above, would also be required?

Question Title

* 10. Has your company implemented a formal process to evaluate energy efficiency measures (e.g., process, lighting, and HVAC efficiency to reduce electricity usage, and/or improved boiler or process heat applications) to reduce natural gas demand?

Yes

If so, have you identified energy efficiency projects that are technically feasible but not economically feasible without state assistance (please list)?

Question Title

* 11. Do you have specific plans that could produce a 6% reduction in your current greenhouse gas emissions by 2030? If not, do you believe that such reductions are technically and economically feasible for your business?

Yes

If not, do you believe that such reductions are technically and economically feasible for your business?

Question Title

* 12. To what extent have concerns about CLCPA emission reduction and/or renewable energy mandates impacted your decisions to maintain operations or make additional investments in New York State?

Strong negative impact

Negative impact

No impact

Positive Impact

Strong positive impact

Question Title

Significant adverse impact

Moderate adverse impact

Minor adverse impact

No or minimal impact

Question Title

* 14. For process heat applications currently based on natural gas or other carbon-based fuel that is technically feasible to electrify, what are your estimated costs of doing so?

Capital costs

Increase / decrease in annual fuel costs

How likely are you to make these investments within the next five years?

Question Title

* 15. Does your facility use a significant amount of carbon-based fuel as production feedstock?

Yes

If yes, approximately what amount per year?

Question Title

* 16. Have you identified process heat applications currently based on natural gas or other carbon-based fuel for which electrification is not technically feasible or commercially available?

Yes

If yes:

15a. What is the annual energy consumption of such process heat applications?
15b. Fuel type amount & unit
15c. Would you be interested in engaging with state or academic resources to research possible electrification technology?

Yes

If yes,

16a. What are they?
16b. Could they be replaced by electricity?
16c. If so, what would happen to the residuals?
