Plain-English Summary

The proposal would create tax incentives to encourage companies to produce renewable natural gas—fuel made from organic waste like manure, food scraps, and sewage—as an alternative to fossil fuels. Businesses that invest in or operate renewable natural gas facilities could receive tax credits or deductions to make these projects more financially attractive. This would affect energy companies, farms, waste management facilities, and potentially lower-income consumers who benefit from cleaner energy options.
