Bill > HR4504

This bill, the Tribal Biochar Promotion Act of 2021, aims to establish a biochar demonstration project for federally recognized Indian Tribes and Alaska Native corporations. The bill amends the Tribal Forest Protection Act of 2004 to direct the Secretary of Agriculture and the Secretary of the Interior to enter into stewardship contracts or similar agreements with Indian Tribes or Tribal organizations to carry out demonstration projects that support the development and commercialization of biochar, a carbonized biomass product, on Indian forest land or rangeland and in nearby communities by providing reliable supplies of feedstock from federal land. The bill sets forth eligibility criteria, selection considerations, and other requirements for the demonstration projects, and defines key terms such as "biochar," "federal land," "feedstock," and "Indian forest land or rangeland."
