State Incentives for Achieving Clean and Renewable
Energy Development on Contaminated Lands
Missouri
The development of clean and renewable energy on formerly used land offers many economic and environmental benefits. Combining clean and renewable
energy and contaminated land cleanup incentives can allow investors and communities to create economically viable clean and renewable energy redevelopment projects.
This document provides information about incentives in your state that can be leveraged for clean and renewable energy and development of contaminated land.
Incentives for Clean and Renewable Energy
Technical Assistance and Other Incentives
Missouri Department of Natural Resources Energy Center
www.dnr.mo.gov/energy/index.html
Provides information on energy efficiency and renewable energy resources
and technologies, and reports current information on energy policy and
resources throughout the state.
Clean Air Interstate Rule (CAIR) - Cap and Trade Program's
Set Aside for Renewable Energy Projects
www.dnr.mo.gov/energy/Hnancial/cairsetaside.htm
Provides rewards in the form of NOx allowances (up to 300 annually) under
the state cap and trade system for renewable energy projects that generate
electricity. Eligible in-state projects may qualify to receive awards for up to
seven years, and eligible projects located outside the state may qualify for
up to five years.
Tax Incentives (abatements, credits, deductions, etc.)
Wood Energy Tax Credit
www.dnr.mo.gov/energy/deprograms.htm
Allows individuals or businesses processing Missouri forestry industry
residues into fuels an income tax credit of $5 per ton of processed material.
The credit may be claimed for a period of five years and is to be a credit
against the tax otherwise due. The Energy Center evaluates the tax credit
applications and certifies to the Department of Revenue each applicant that
qualifies as a wood energy-producing facility. To be considered an eligible
fuel, forestry industry residues must have undergone some thermal,
chemical, or mechanical process(es) sufficient to alter the residues into a
fuel product.
