IRA 22 Impact
Unlocking the Potential: How the Inflation Reduction Act of 2022 (IRA 22) Transforms the Bioenergy Landscape
Dynamic Impact IRA 22’s impact on the bioenergy industry has already
been dramatic and has enabled bioenergy tax credits to become a true asset class.
Larger ITCs / PTCs Bioenergy projects can now earn larger Investment
Tax Credits & Production Tax Credits (ITCs and PTCs) worth up to 50%, as well as new 45Z PTC for clean fuels production.
Broad Application There is now broad application of significant
federal tax incentives to projects utilizing organic matter to produce energy; ITCs and PTCs now apply to projects producing biofuels used for transportation or heating purposes which previously only applied to projects which generated electricity.
Economic Strength Impact of ITC/45Z provisions can mean a 25-40%
net reduction of project capital needs and increase revenue generation by 10-35%, whichwhich enables a sector experiencing dramatic growth to become even stronger economically.
Our Experience

Bioenergy Industry
Bioenergy is a form of renewable energy that is derived from recently living organic materials
known as biomass, which can be used to produce transportation fuels, heat, electricity and other products.
Bioenergy projects have the unique ability to de-carbonize multiple sectors of the economy with
the energy they produce (power, transportation, manufacturing, waste management, commercial and industrial purposes).
The bioenergy industry has the ability to reduce more carbon emissions, provide direct Scope 1, 2 and 3 benefits and satisfy more ESG mandates per dollar of invested capital than other renewable energy asset classes due to its low “carbon intensity”.
Our Mission
The energy transition is under way, and Virentis is dedicated to driving supportive financial innovation.
At Virentis, we believe that organizations must approach this transition to sustainability with the fundamental belief that effective change is actually possible. The work effort requires financial discipline and informed decision making, so that the changes being implemented remain economically viable. Virentis was created to support organizations as they implement transformative improvements, accelerating the shift to a circular economy and creating positive impact that benefits not only themselves, but the communities they serve.
