Recent Growth of Renewable Electricity/Biofuels Significant Private Investment and Technological Development in Past Decade Prompted To Large Degree by Government Mandates and Financial Incentives

Biofuels Mandates and Incentives Minnesota Ethanol and Biodiesel Mandates Federal Renewable Fuel Standards Minnesota Ethanol Producer Payments Federal Ethanol Blenders Credit and Biodiesel Tax Credit Mandates Remain Intact, But Incentives in Jeopardy

Renewable Electricity Mandates and Incentives Minnesota Renewable Energy Standards State Policies and Rebates Favoring Renewables Federal Incentives: Investment Tax Credit/Grant and Production Tax Credit Federal Mandates Proposed; No Action This Year

Recent Trends Recession Has Significantly Impacted Role of Private Investment and Project Financing 2009 Stimulus Legislation Included Many Incentive Programs That Will Wind Down Government Incentives Have Helped Maintain Progress; But Financing Has Been Difficult Continued Uncertain State and Federal Policy and Funding Could Hamper Stable Growth

What’s Needed Consistent Federal Approach with National Standards and Predictable Incentives Alternatively, Stronger Regional State Compacts Infrastructure for Delivery: Improved Transmission; Dedicated Biofuels Pipelines Focus on Electricity Storage
