SB2982 amends Texas Health and Safety Code to define "renewable biomass" and "renewable chemical" and requires the Texas Commission on Environmental.

SB2982 amends the Texas Health and Safety Code to define "renewable biomass" as materials from National Forest System land and public lands, plants, trees, algae, and various waste materials. It also defines "renewable chemical" as products produced from renewable biomass feedstocks or certified under a third-party certification system. The bill tasks the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality with identifying third-party certification systems for mass balance attribution, which must be implemented by rule. The changes will take effect on September 1, 2025.
