Title: Bioenergy Program for Advanced Biofuels
Abstract: The Bioenergy Program For Advanced Biofuels directs the Secretary of Agriculture to make payments to eligible producers to support and ensure an expanding production of advanced biofuels. Advanced biofuels are defined as 'fuel derived from renewable biomass other than corn kernel starch' in The Food, Conservation, and Energy Act of 2008. The program will increase energy independence, promote resource conservation, diversify markets for agricultural and forestry products, create jobs, and enhance economic development in rural economies. To receive a payment, an eligible producer shall enter into a contract with the Secretary of Agriculture for production of advanced biofuels. The basis for payments under this program are the quantity and duration of production of biofuel produced by an eligible producer, the net nonrenewable energy content of the advanced biofuel, and other appropriate factors as determined by the Secretary of Agriculture.
