BTEC supports the establishment of a national Renewable Thermal Standard (RTS) that rewards the production of thermal energy from renewable sources in a fashion similar to the Renewable Fuels Standard (for transportation fuels) and the proposed Renewable Electricity Standard (for electricity generation). By requiring a minimum percentage of thermal energy generated in each state to be obtained from renewable sources, the RTS would drive new and greater investment in the biomass thermal industry.
