Summary
The bill adds waste energy recovery—capturing heat or pressure that would otherwise be released—to the list of renewable energy sources in the Farm Security and Rural Investment Act of 2002. It defines the term and allows farms, businesses and homes that convert waste heat or pressure into electricity to qualify as renewable energy projects. This change could expand eligibility for existing agricultural and rural energy programs.
