Title: Expand the Clean Technology Investment Tax Credit to include equipment that produces electricity, heat, or both from waste biomass. Details: The 2023 Fall Economic Statement sought to expand the 30 percent Clean Technology Investment Tax Credit to equipment that produces electricity, heat, or both from waste biomass.
