The Mississippi Department of Agriculture and Commerce (Department) provides incentive payments to qualified ethanol and biodiesel producers located in Mississippi. The Department may issue payments of $0.20 per gallon for up to 30 million gallons per year per producer for a period of up to 10 years following the start date of production. The Department will not make payments for production after June 30, 2015, and the maximum total annual payment to a single producer per fiscal year is $6 million. (Reference Mississippi Code 69-51-5)
The Mississippi Department of Finance and Administration's Bureau of Fleet Management (Bureau) coordinates and promotes fuel efficiency and economy when state agencies purchase, lease, rent, acquire, use, maintain, and dispose of vehicles. The Bureau encourages state agencies to use fuel-efficient or hybrid electric vehicles appropriate for the intended purpose and, when feasible, use alternative fuels, including ethanol, biodiesel, natural gas, or electricity to operate the vehicles. By July 1, 2014, at least 75% of all vehicles titled under the Bureau must have a U.S. Environmental Protection Agency estimated fuel economy rating of at least 40 miles per gallon for highway driving.
