Growing Renewable Energy for Emerging Needs (GREEN) Act

The Growing Renewable Energy for Emerging Needs (GREEN) Act proposed changes to the federal tax code to encourage the production of electricity from renewable sources. Specifically, the bill sought to extend existing tax credits for renewable energy and expand them to include a wider range of biomass materials, such as organic waste and plant matter. For citizens, this legislation was designed to lower the cost of developing green energy infrastructure, potentially leading to a more diverse energy market and increased investment in rural economies where biomass resources are often located.
