Biomass Crop Assistance Program (BCAP)

The Biomass Crop Assistance Program (BCAP) is a U.S. government initiative that encourages farmers and landowners to grow specific crops used for renewable energy, like biofuels. It provides financial assistance through cost-sharing and matching funds for establishing biomass crops and helps cover collection, delivery, and storage costs. The goal is to increase the supply of sustainable, locally-produced biomass that can be converted into renewable energy, reducing reliance on fossil fuels and supporting energy independence while promoting rural economic development.
