Bill > SF1037

This bill appropriates funds from the renewable development account to support the construction of an anaerobic digestor energy system in Louisville Township, Minnesota. Specifically, the bill allocates an unspecified amount of money in fiscal years 2025 and 2026 to the commissioner of commerce, who will provide a grant to Recycling and Energy in partnership with Dem-Con HZI Bioenergy, LLC. The bill defines an anaerobic digestor energy system as a facility that converts diverted food and organic waste into renewable natural gas and biochar, which is a form of carbon-rich material produced by burning organic matter in a low-oxygen environment. The appropriation appears to be an exception to existing statutory provisions, and the bill would become effective immediately after final enactment. By supporting this type of renewable energy project, the bill aims to promote sustainable waste management and clean energy production.
