Biomass Crop Assistance Program

BCAP provides financial assistance to help establish and maintain biomass crops and to deliver biomass to approved facilities. The program shares the cost of planting new perennial biomass crops and offers annual payments for up to five years for herbaceous plants and up to fifteen years for woody plants. It also provides matching payments for up to two years to help cover the cost of harvesting, storing, and transporting biomass. BCAP supports the development of bioenergy markets and helps reduce financial risk for producers.
