What is NYSERDA’s environmental role?
From its original law, NYSERDA has been charged with improving New York’s environment, especially in relation to the emissions associated with the generation and consumption of energy. NYSERDA has monitored electric generation emissions, along with advancing non-polluting renewable sources of energy since its founding. Research and development of topics ranging from acid precipitation in the Adirondacks to fuel cells for home and transportation are among NYSERDA’s broad portfolio.
