Lets businesses count waste heat as renewable energy
The Waste Heat to Wattage Act of 2026 would let businesses count energy recovered from waste heat or pressure as a renewable energy source. This change would update a 2002 farm law, potentially making these businesses eligible for programs or incentives tied to renewable energy.
Today, federal law lists sources like wind and solar as renewable energy, but not energy recovered from waste heat or pressure. If this bill passes, waste energy recovery would be officially added to that list, along with a clear definition of what it means.
