Lets more forest waste and wildfire cleanup materials be used for renewable fuels.
This bill would expand the types of materials that count as "renewable biomass" for making renewable fuels. This means wood waste from manufacturing, certain trees from forests, and vegetation cleared for wildfire safety could be used. It aims to create new markets for these materials, potentially helping with forest management and wildfire reduction efforts.
Today, the definition of "renewable biomass" for fuel standards does not explicitly include many types of forest waste, materials from wildfire prevention, or certain trees and shrubs from various lands. If this bill becomes law, the definition would expand to include these materials, potentially creating new markets for them and supporting wildfire risk reduction efforts.
