Repowering Assistance Program |
The purpose of the Repowering Assistance Program is to help offset the costs associated with converting existing fossil fuel systems to renewable biomass fuel systems. New biomass fuel systems may be used to heat and/or power the facility, replacing their use of fossil fuels such as propane, coal, oil or natural gas, to generate this power.
The program assists biorefineries in existence on or before June 18, 2008 (the date of the enactment of the Food, Conservation, and Energy Act of 2008).
