BioFuels support included in Senate energy package passed today
This came in an e-mail from Maria Cantewell's office (our senator on the Appropriations committee):
Here is the PDF file with all the details:
The excise tax credit was officially extended today when the Senate passed the Energy Bill (S. 10). Attached is our press release and an outline of the biofuels provisions of the bill for biodiesel and ethanol. Look under "Federal Support for Biofuels Infrastructure" for the extension information. There is also $550 million set aside over five years, look under "Seizing the Technology Lead" for research, infrastructure development and pilot projects. This is the money that we think we could use for a crusher and use Seattle Biodiesel and other potential partners like WSU, Growers etc. Kind of like that research grant proposal but for a crusher this time. Our office will work with you on that. Let me know if you have any questions. This is all public information so feel free to share it with anyone you like. I am going to email to email it out to everyone from our biodiesel events etc.
Thanks!
