Arizona Grants
Biofuels Infrastructure Grants and Specifications
The Arizona Biofuels Conversion Program distributes grants to encourage the use of biofuels in the state and to promote development of fueling infrastructure. Once the program has been funded, grants will not exceed $30,000 or 40% of conversion costs, whichever is less. Biodiesel is defined as a fuel that is produced from nonpetroleum renewable resources as defined by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), and meets EPA registration requirements for fuels and fuel additives established in Section 211 of the Clean Air Act. E85 is defined as a fuel ethanol gasoline blend that meets ASTM specification D5798. The Arizona Department of Weights and Measures must adopt rules to establish and enforce federal standards and ASTM test methods for biofuels and biofuel blends, and blenders of biodiesel must follow the established reporting requirements.
