What this bill does
H.R. 9746, the Biomass Facility Construction Act, would amend the Internal Revenue Code. It aims to provide tax credits for building new facilities that use biomass, which is organic material from plants and animals. Specifically, it would establish an investment tax credit of 30% for certain biomass facility property and reinstate a production tax credit for biomass facilities whose construction begins after the bill becomes law.
This bill would affect businesses involved in constructing and operating open-loop and closed-loop biomass facilities. Open-loop systems use waste materials, while closed-loop systems use dedicated energy crops. The tax credits are intended to incentivize the development of these types of energy production.
The bill was introduced in the House of Representatives on July 16, 2026, and was referred to the Committee on Ways and Means. As it has just been introduced, it would need to be considered by the committee, potentially amended, and then passed by both the House and the Senate before it could be sent to the President to be signed into law.
