Summary
The Agriculture Environmental Stewardship Act of 2021 proposes to expand federal energy tax credits to include investments in biogas and nutrient recovery systems on farms. This legislation would provide financial incentives for agricultural producers to install technology that converts animal waste into usable fuel or separates nutrients like nitrogen and phosphorus for more efficient fertilizer use. By encouraging the adoption of these systems, the bill aims to help farmers reduce waste, lower energy costs, and decrease the environmental impact of runoff into local waterways.
