Key Points
Congress would raise the tax-credit cap for some home energy upgrades that include biomass stoves and boilers.
Starting after Dec. 31, 2025, the bill sets a $2,000 limit for one group of qualifying items and a $10,000 limit for another group that includes biomass equipment.
The bill would create a new 30% investment tax credit for certain biomass heating property used to make heat, hot water, or steam for buildings or industrial uses.
To qualify for the new 30% credit, boilers and furnaces would have to meet efficiency, indoor-installation, size, and emissions-control requirements.
If passed, this could lower upfront costs for some homeowners and businesses that install qualifying biomass heating systems, but savings depend on tax situation and project costs.
