Biomass Crop Assistance Program (BCAP) provides financial assistance to producers or entities that deliver eligible biomass material to designated biomass conversion facilities for use as heat, power, biobased products or biofuels. Initial assistance will be for the collection, harvest, storage and transportation costs associated with the delivery of eligible materials.

FSA is moving forward with rulemaking to fully implement BCAP. Please check FSA's BCAP website regularly for factsheets, application documents and updates. A list of participating facilities will be added in the coming weeks.

Looking to become a qualified Biomass Conversion Facility (BCF) for the BCAP program? Documents will soon be made available for you to apply. Watch the BCAP website for the BCF Memorandum of Understanding (MOU).
