USDA Rural Development has announced it will open a new 30-day application period for the Higher Blends Infrastructure Incentive program on Dec. 21. The Renewable Fuels Association, Growth Energy and American Coalition for Ethanol say they are ready and willing to help retailers apply for the program.
The HBIIP aims to significantly increase the sales and use of higher blends of ethanol and biodiesel by expanding the infrastructure for renewable fuels derived from U.S. agricultural products. Investments made under HBIIP aim to help transportation fueling and biodiesel distribution facilities convert to higher ethanol and biodiesel blends by sharing the costs related to the installation of fuel pumps, related equipment and infrastructure. Under the program, higher blends include ethanol blends of greater than 10 percent and biodiesel blends of greater than 5 percent.
