The below resolution, having been introduced and moved for consideration by Charles Uglietto of Cubby Oil & Energy in Somerville, Massachusetts, and seconded by Rick Bologna of Westmore Fuel in Greenwich, Connecticut, was considered and approved by more than 300 participants at the 2019 Northeast Heating Oil Industry Summit during the Heating & Energizing America Trade Show (the HEAT Show) in Providence, Rhode Island.

“Be it resolved that the heating oil industry will reduce its greenhouse gas emissions, based on 1990 levels, by • 15 percent by 2023; • 40 percent by 2030; and • Net-zero by 2050.
“Be it further resolved that industry groups participating in and present for this summit, including NEFI, the various state associations, and NORA, will work together to do all that is necessary to achieve these goals.”
Resolution was discussed and Mr. Uglietto asked if there were objections. None were raised. Resolution was approved unanimously by voice vote.
