Governor Kathy Hochul called for a ban on burning fossil fuels in newly constructed buildings within five years during her State of the State address Tuesday.

Under her program, on-site fossil fuel combustion would be banned in new construction of small buildings by 2025, and in larger buildings by 2028. The sale of new fossil-burning heating equipment would be banned in New York by 2030 for small buildings and 2035 for larger ones, she said.
