Biofuel Infrastructure Grant Program
Expired: 01/01/2011
The Indiana State Department of Agriculture (ISDA) may award grants of up to $20,000 to qualified individuals or entities that purchase, convert, or retrofit any part of an existing fueling station for the purpose of dispensing E85. ISDA may also award competitive grants for 50% of qualified costs, up to $100,000, for installing infrastructure used to produce or distribute biofuels. Biofuels are defined as agriculturally-based sources of renewable energy, such as crops and aquatic plans, converted into a liquid or gaseous fuel. ISDA must review and approve applications for this grant program. ISDA may not award more than one grant per fueling station or infrastructure project, and the total grant funding awarded for all fiscal years may not exceed $1 million.
