The Rural Business-Cooperative Service of the USDA is offering the Higher Blends Infrastructure Incentive Program (HBIIP), a federal grant aimed at enhancing the infrastructure for renewable fuels derived from U.S. agricultural products. This program seeks to significantly increase the sales and use of higher blends of ethanol and biodiesel by providing cost-share grants for eligible projects, covering up to 75% of total project costs, with a maximum award of $5 million. The funding is crucial for transportation fueling facilities, fuel distribution facilities, and home heating oil distribution facilities to implement activities related to higher blends of fuel ethanol and biodiesel. Interested applicants must submit their applications through the Online Application System by September 30, 2024, and can reach out to Jeff Carpenter at HBIIP@usda.gov or by phone at 402-437-5554 for further information.
