Alternative Fuel Vehicle (AFV) Demonstration Grants
The Iowa Department of Natural Resources conducts marketing and education outreach to encourage the use of alternative fuels and, contingent upon funding, awards demonstration grants to individuals who purchase vehicles that operate on alternative fuels, including but not limited to E85, biodiesel, compressed natural gas, electricity, solar energy, or hydrogen. Individuals may use grants to conduct research connected with the fuel or the vehicle and to purchase the vehicle if the Department of Natural Resources retains the title of the vehicle, the vehicle is used for research, and the proceeds from the eventual sale of the vehicle are used for additional research.
