Agricultural Biomass Income Tax Credit (Corporate)

H.B. 171 of 2010 created a tax credit for agricultural biomass from a dairy or feedlot transported to a facility that uses agricultural biomass to generate electricity or make biocrude or other liquid or gaseous fuel for commercial use. For the purposes of this tax credit, agricultural biomass means wet manure. The Energy, Minerals and Natural Resources Department may adopt additional specifications for agricultural biomass through a rule making process. The credit is effective for biomass originating between January 1, 2011, and January 1, 2030. The credit is worth $5 per wet ton. Eligible projects must apply to the Taxation and Revenue Department for the credit. The Taxation and Revenue Department is authorized to distribute $5,000,000 in credits annually and will award a qualification document to eligible projects on a first-come, first-served basis.
