Two Stimulus Packages For the Price of One!
Don’t Miss the Pre-Tutorial Symposium:
Biomass Conversion Technologies
On February 17th, President Barack Obama signed the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 which includes a wide variety of provisions in support of the renewable fuels industry in general and the biomass community in particular. Three of the most notable items in the stimulus package include:
- $800 million in biomass project and research & development funding via the Department of Energy
- Extension of the PTC (Production Tax Credit) for biomass and solid waste through 2013
- Conversion of the PTC into the ITC (Investment Tax Credit) for selected biomass projects
R. Thomas Amis, the Chairman of the upcoming Biomass Project Development Tutorial (April 6-8 in Atlanta, GA) and members of the tutorial faculty, including Todd Alexander of Chadbourne & Parke and luncheon presenter Mark Riedy, the General Counsel for ACORE, have confirmed that these issues and more will be top-of-mind throughout the event. With representatives from National Energy Renewable Laboratory, the Energy & Environmental Research Center and the U.S. Department of Energy on the roster, attendees are sure to be provided with the first, major comprehensive review of what the elements of the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 mean in terms of real-world opportunities to the biomass community.
