Alabama
Biomass Energy Program
Energy conservation through the use of biomass as an alternative energy sources has been the focus of the Biomass Energy Program for more than a decade. To assist businesses in installing biomass systems, the Energy, Weatherization and Technology Division of the Alabama Department of Economic and Community Affairs (ADECA) administers the Biomass Energy Interest Subsidy Program. Program participants receive up to $75,000 in interest subsidy payments on loans to install qualified biomass projects. Technical assistance and feasibility studies may also be provided through the program.
Despite its initial focus on waste wood, the program scope has shifted over time to include switchgrass, landfill gas, and municipal solid waste projects. Several landfill waste disposal facilities across the state have been identified as prime candidates for landfill gas recovery and utilization. The target audience for the program includes industrial, commercial and institutional facilities, agricultural property owners and city, county and state entities.
