AB 893 Wisconsin Assembly · 2025-2026 Regular Session

Relating to: grants for regional biodigesters, granting rule-making authority, and making an appropriation. (FE)

AB 893 creates a $250,000 annual grant program from the environmental fund to support planning for regional biodigesters. These facilities convert organic waste (like food scraps or farm byproducts) into energy, primarily benefiting agricultural and waste management projects. The bill authorizes the Department of Agriculture to administer the grants and develop rules for their use. It does not fund construction but focuses on initial planning phases for new biodigester facilities.
