The bill amends the Internal Revenue Code to establish investment and production credits specifically for new biomass facilities.

  • Section 48(a)

    (16) Application of credit to certain biomass facilities.-- (A) In general.--In the case of any qualified property (as defined in paragraph (5)(D)) which is part of a specified biomass facility-- (i) such property shall be treated as energy property for purposes of this section, and (ii) the energy percentage with respect to such property is 30 percent. (B) Specified biomass facility.--For purposes of this paragraph, the term `specified biomass facility' means any facility-- (i) described in paragraph (2) or (3) of section 45(d), and (ii) the construction of which begins after the date of the enactment of the Biomass Facility Construction Act.

    This creates a new tax credit for investment in specified biomass facilities, treating them as energy property with a 30% energy percentage.

  • Section 45(d)

    January 1, 2025, → or after the date of the enactment of the Biomass Facility Construction Act,

    This allows production credits to apply to biomass facilities whose construction begins after the bill's enactment.

  • Section 45(b)(4)

    Subparagraphs (A) and (B) → Subparagraphs (A) and (B) shall not apply to any facility described in paragraph (2) or (3) of subsection (d) the construction of which begins after the date of the enactment of the Biomass Facility Construction Act.

    This removes limitations on production credits for new biomass facilities starting construction after the bill is enacted.
