Iowa Ag Secretary Mike Naig says that the Iowa Renewable Fuels Infrastructure Program Board recently approved 126 project applications from Iowa gas stations for new and expanded E15, E85, and biodiesel infrastructure projects.
Totaling nearly 6-point-35-million dollars, the projects are located across 61 Iowa counties and will allow drivers to save more money by providing more access to lower cost and cleaner burning homegrown biofuels.
New ethanol fueling infrastructure will be funded with the help of 88 cost-share grants totaling nearly 4-point-5-million dollars for gas stations throughout Iowa. In the broadcast area, locations in Parkersburg, Iowa Falls, and Belmond will receive the grants.
The board also approved 38 biodiesel retail cost-share grants totaling over 1-point-8-million dollars. In the broadcast area, one location in Iowa Falls will receive the grant.
