To amend the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 to establish tax credits for the production of, and investment in, certain renewable materials.
This bill creates two new tax incentives to encourage the production and investment in renewable materials derived from biomass. The first provision offers a production credit of 10 cents per pound for qualified renewable materials sold or used in business, while the second provides an investment credit equal to 30 percent of qualified property costs used in renewable material facilities. Both credits are limited to facilities located in the United States or its possessions and exclude products intended for fuel, heat, electricity, food, or feed. The bill also allows these tax credits to be transferred to other taxpayers and requires the Treasury Department to issue implementing regulations within 180 days of enactment.
