Convert HABs to Fuel Act

This bill amends the Water Resources Development Act of 2018 to establish a federal program converting harmful algal blooms (HABs) into renewable biofuel. It requires the Secretary to implement specific projects in Florida’s Caloosahatchee River watershed, St. Lucie River and estuary basin, and Lake Okeechobee watershed using previously proven technologies to harvest algae and convert it into biofuel. The program mandates consultation with state/local agencies, private organizations, and federal partners like the EPA and Energy Department, and allocates $25 million for implementation. A report on feasibility, water quality impacts, and renewable energy potential must be submitted to Congress within two years.
