The Iowa Renewable Fuel Infrastructure Grant Program Board of Directors is scheduled to meet on July 17, 2019 to review applications. Completed applications must be submitted to the Department by 4:30 p.m. on Friday, June 28. Eligible projects include new equipment associated with the dispensing of E15, E85, or biodiesel. Retail biodiesel projects must meet the minimum requirement of offering a 2 percent blend throughout the calendar year.
Reimbursement can be for 50% of the costs for specific components of a project with a three year commitment required to sell certain renewable fuels. A five year commitment to store and sell renewable fuels and install certain equipment can result in up to 70% reimbursement or $50,000, whichever is less, for specific equipment or installation costs. Heat biodiesel terminal equipment and/or infrastructure can receive funding for up to $100,000 per project. Locations are eligible to receive one ethanol and one biodiesel grant per site.
