Agricultural Biorefinery Innovation and Opportunity Act of 2025

The Agricultural Biorefinery Innovation and Opportunity Act of 2025 expands federal support for developing advanced biofuels (including ultra-low-carbon and zero-carbon bioethanol), renewable chemicals, and biobased products. It creates a new grant program for pilot and demonstration-scale biorefineries, requiring projects to meet specific criteria like environmental benefits, rural economic development, innovation, and market potential. Grants cover up to 60% of project costs, with the remaining 40% coming from non-federal sources, and will receive $100 million annually from 2026 through 2030. This program directly supports eligible entities such as companies, cooperatives, and associations working to commercialize sustainable biorefinery technologies.
