To promote more clean energy production the Alberta government is expanding and extending an incentive program for producers of bioenergy products. The Bioenergy Producer Credit Program is being extended for five years until 2016. The program will help Alberta meet its climate change targets by reducing emissions while also providing value-added opportunities and long-term stability to Alberta’s agriculture and forestry industries. The program provides incentives to develop a wide variety of bioenergy products including fuels, power and heat, which will support the Renewable Fuels Standard to be implemented in April 2011.
