Description
The AGRI Bioincentive Program, administered by the Minnesota Department of Agriculture, provides production incentive payments to support the commercial-scale manufacture of advanced biofuels, renewable chemicals, and biomass thermal energy. The program is designed to encourage innovation in renewable energy and sustainable chemical production by leveraging local agricultural and forestry biomass resources. Facilities must use environmentally responsible harvesting practices, source most biomass from Minnesota, and meet ongoing production thresholds.
