The Energy Trust of Oregon, an initiative of the Oregon Department, provides technical assistance and financial incentives to municipal facilities and businesses in the state for projects converting organic waste into biofuels used for either electrical or heat generation, as long as applicants can show that the project would result in savings for the electric utility. The Custom Energy Efficiency Projects program offers technical services including scoping studies, technical energy studies, installation guidance, and post-installation verifications. It also provides cash incentives, with custom gas and electric projects able to receive up to 90% of the eligible project costs.
