The Iowa Renewable Infrastructure Program is designed to assist retail operators of motor fuel dispensing sites or fueling stations in the conversion of their equipment to allow the expanded use of renewable fuels in Iowa.   The program utilizes grant incentives to encourage these upgrades. 

Reimbursement can be for 50% of the costs for specific components of a project with a three year commitment required to sell certain renewable fuels.  A five year commitment to store and sell renewable fuels and install certain equipment can result in up to 70% reimbursement for specific equipment or installation costs.  Heat biodiesel terminal equipment and/or infrastructure can receive funding for up to $100,000 per project.

The grant program is managed by Harold Hommes, Iowa Department of Agriculture and Land Stewardship (IDALS), PH: (515) 242-6237, harold.hommes@iowaagriculture.gov.
