South Carolina H3967 amends the state code to define "biomass" and establish criteria for bioenergy production.

South Carolina H3967 amends Chapter 23, Title 48 of the South Carolina Code to define "biomass" and other relevant terms. Biomass includes bioenergy feedstocks from forest products manufacturing, such as pulping liquors, pulping byproducts, and woody manufacturing residuals. The bill also defines "bioenergy with carbon capture and storage" as the process of capturing and permanently storing carbon dioxide for biomass energy generation. Bioenergy produced from biomass is considered renewable and carbon neutral, and when paired with carbon capture and storage, it is considered carbon negative.
