Introduced by: Robert J. Wittman | all patrons ... notes | add to my profiles
SUMMARY AS PASSED: (all summaries)
Biofuels Production Fund and Grant Incentive Program; established. Establishes the Biofuels Production Fund (the Fund) and the Biofuels Production Grant Incentive Program (the Program) to administer the Fund. The Program offers grants to producers of neat biofuels, which are defined as either biodiesel fuels or ethanol fuels that are not mixed with traditional fuels such as gasoline or diesel fuel. To be eligible for a grant the producer must produce in excess of 10 million gallons of neat biofuels within the Commonwealth in a calendar year using feedstock originating domestically within the United States. The producer must commence eligible sales on or after January 1, 2007, and pre-existing producers are only eligible if their production increases over prior calendar year levels by at least 10 million gallons of neat biofuels. Producers that qualify for a grant under the program may be granted $0.10 per gallon for neat biofuels produced in the given calendar year. If moneys in the fund are not sufficient to pay all qualified applicants, disbursements from the Fund shall be made on a pro-rata basis. The Program and Fund would expire on December 31, 2016. The payment of grants is subject to an appropriation to the fund.
