The legislation would provide tax incentives and financial support to help companies build new facilities that convert biomass—organic materials like wood waste, agricultural residue, and other plant-based materials—into energy or fuel. This would affect energy companies, construction workers, and rural communities that produce agricultural and forestry waste, potentially creating jobs while promoting renewable energy alternatives to fossil fuels.
