Iowa Secretary of Agriculture Mike Naig recently announced the Iowa Renewable Fuels Infrastructure Program board approved 108 projects during its quarterly meeting on Dec. 17 to support new and expanded biofuel infrastructure projects across the state.
The approved projects are in 46 counties and represent nearly $4.59 million in total requests, including $3,987,039.12 for 93 ethanol-related projects and $600,142.66 for 15 biodiesel-related projects. These cost-share investments help drivers save money by expanding access to lower-cost, cleaner-burning homegrown biofuels like E15 (Unleaded 88) and biodiesel.
Since the cost-share grant program began in 2006, the department has invested nearly $70 million toward expanding renewable fuels infrastructure in Iowa.
