Bill overview
This bill amends the Clean Air Act to broaden the definition of ‘renewable biomass’ used in the renewable fuel program. It allows for the use of certain secondary materials from forest product manufacturing, like sawdust and wood chips, as renewable fuel sources. Additionally, the bill expands the types of biomass that can be used from federal lands, specifically focusing on materials from ecological restoration projects and wildfire mitigation efforts. These changes aim to increase the availability of biomass for use in renewable fuels.
