Advanced Biofuel Producer Payment Program (Section 9005)

This new program was created by the 2008 Farm Bill. It makes incentive payments to all enrolled producers of "advanced biofuels." (Advanced biofuels include commercial-quality biodiesel, ethanol made from non-corn-kernel starch feedstock (including cellulosic ethanol), and other types of biofuel and biogas) Payments are intended to encourage the expanding production of these biofuels.  The size of the incentive payment will depend on the number of producers participating in the program and the BTUs of biofuel produced. Rural and urban producers are eligible for these incentives.

 

USDA Rural Development normally accepts applications between Oct 1st and Oct 31st for the next funding round.  We anticipate another 30 day window to accept applications for fiscal year 2013.  This Notice for fiscal year 2013 has yet to be announced.  Contact Don Hollis, Energy Coordinator for more information direct at (541)278-8049 ext. 129 or by e-mail at don.hollis@or.usda.gov for details.
