AGRI Bioincentive Program

About this funding opportunity

AGRI Bioincentive Program

Payments for the production of advanced biofuels, renewable chemicals, and biomass thermal energy

The Minnesota State Legislature established the Bioincentive Program in 2015 to encourage commercial-scale production of advanced biofuels, renewable chemicals, and biomass thermal energy through production incentive payments.

To receive incentive payments, production facilities within Minnesota must: begin producing biofuels, renewable chemicals, or biomass thermal energy before June 30, 2025, meet quarterly minimum production levels, use biomass from agricultural or forestry sources, or the organic portion of solid waste, source 80 percent of renewable biomass from Minnesota, and harvest agricultural and forestry biomass in ways that do not harm the environment.

Production facilities may receive payments for up to ten years on a first-come, first-served basis while funding lasts.

Note: If production facilities are 50 miles or less from the state border, materials may be sourced within a 100-mile radius.
