WI farm, renewable energy groups hope for federal biogas tax credit
Hope Kirwan
With new federal interest in clean energy initiatives, Wisconsin farm and renewable energy advocates hope now will be the time to create tax incentives for biogas technology.
U.S. Rep. Ron Kind, D-La Crosse, recently reintroduced his bill that would allow biodigesters to qualify for the same 30 percent energy tax credit provided for solar, geothermal and some wind energy projects.
Biodigesters break down organic waste, like manure, using microorganisms, which emit a methane gas called biogas. The systems are commonly used by livestock farms as well as wastewater facilities.
