Ethanol Production Incentives: A number of states have designed financial incentives for the production of ethanol. Several provide partial exemptions from state gasoline excise taxes (separate from federal excise tax and exemption). The trend is toward producer credits to keep business promotion within the state.
Renewable Portfolio Standard: As of early 2004, thirteen states required electric power generators to use a certain percentage of renewable energy.
Public Benefits Funds or Systems Benefit Charges (SBC): 23 states and the District of Columbia have implemented state-level programs developed through the electric utility restructuring process as a measure to assure continued support for renewable energy resources, energy efficiency initiatives, and low-income support programs. More than half of these specifically include funding for biomass projects, according to the Database of State Incentives for Renewable Energy (DSIRE).
