Cellulosic Ethanol Production Facility Tax Exemption
Any newly constructed or expanded biomass-to-energy facility is exempt from state property taxes for up to 10 taxable years immediately following the taxable year in which construction or installation is completed. A biomass-to-energy facility includes any industrial process plant that produces at least 500,000 gallons of cellulosic alcohol fuel, liquid or gaseous fuel, or other source of energy in a quantity having a British thermal unit (BTU) value equal to, or greater than, 500,000 gallons of cellulosic alcohol fuel.
