Sens. Brown and Rickets introduce bill to advance biochemicals manufacturing in US

In Washington, U.S. Senators Sherrod Brown (D-OH) and Pete Ricketts (R-NE) recently introduced bipartisan legislation to advance the manufacturing of renewable biochemicals from domestic biomass in the United States by creating a tax credit for the production of these chemicals by American companies. The legislation would help to build new markets for domestically produced biomass, advance American energy independence and create American jobs in the chemical industry through a tax credit for either the production of renewable chemicals or investment in renewable chemical production facilities.
