AI Summary
This bill, titled the "Waste Heat to Wattage Act of 2026," amends the Farm Security and Rural Investment Act of 2002 to officially recognize "waste energy recovery" as a source of renewable energy. This means that heat or pressure from commercial, residential, or industrial processes that would normally be released into the environment can now be captured and used to generate electricity, such as through systems that convert waste heat or pressure into power. This inclusion aims to expand the definition of renewable energy sources supported by the existing farm bill legislation.
