Bill > S2324

This bill amends Section 11F 1/2 of Chapter 25A of Massachusetts general laws to provide alternative energy credits for facilities using eligible biomass technologies that also install emissions control equipment like electrostatic precipitators. Specifically, the bill allows facilities to earn one alternative energy credit for every 1,706,000 British thermal units (BTUs) of net useful thermal energy generated, with the explicit goal of improving air quality. Biomass technologies typically involve generating energy from organic materials like wood, agricultural waste, or other renewable biological sources. An electrostatic precipitator is a device that removes fine particles from exhaust gases using an electrical charge, which helps reduce emissions and improve environmental performance. By incentivizing both renewable energy production and emissions control through the alternative energy credit system, the bill aims to support cleaner and more sustainable energy generation.
