House bill introduced to reestablish tax credits to biogas, WTE projects
By Cody Bottler, Waste Dive.
Rep. Elise Stefanik, R-NY, recently introduced H.R. 4137, a measure that would extend tax credits for electricity produced from a number of renewable sources, including biogas and waste-to-energy.
The bill would make it so that biomass, geothermal, landfill gas, "trash facilities" and hydropower facilities are again covered under Code Section 45 and given a production tax credit for generating electricity.
In a press release, Stefanik said that renewable energy sources, like biomass, municipal solid waste and hydropower, "represent a new frontier for our environment and for economic growth, and it's important that we give them the support they need."
