Solid biomass and renewable waste energy capacity in the US peaked in 2015, driven by strong investments in renewable energy. However, from 2015 to 2022, capacity declined by 12% due to a shift towards more efficient and cost-effective renewable sources like solar and wind, as well as reduced incentives for biomass and waste energy projects, leading to decreased capacity.
