U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) is making available up to $100 million in grants for activities designed to expand the availability and sale of renewable fuels. The funds are part of the recently launched USDA’s Higher Blends Infrastructure Incentive Program (HBIIP).
HBIIP is intended to increase the sale and use of higher blends of ethanol and biodiesel by expanding the infrastructure for renewable fuels derived from U.S. agricultural products. Funds will be allocated to assist transportation fueling and biodiesel distribution facilities with converting to higher ethanol and biodiesel blends by sharing the costs related to the installation of fuel pumps, related equipment and infrastructure.
