AI Summary

This bill aims to promote the use of anaerobic digestion technology in Massachusetts. It does this by: 1) Providing that 25 megawatts of electric energy generated from renewable sources using anaerobic digestion of agricultural, food, or animal by-products or waste shall count double towards the state's renewable energy targets; and 2) Exempting agricultural or anaerobic digestion net metering facilities from aggregate net metering capacity caps, up to a total of 25 megawatts. These provisions are intended to encourage the development of anaerobic digestion as a renewable energy source in the state.
