Alternative Fuels Incentive Program; Program Opportunity Notice

[37 Pa.B. 1738]
[Saturday, April 14, 2007]

   The Department of Environmental Protection (Department) announces an opportunity to apply for grants under the Alternative Fuels Incentive Program to expand the production and use of alternative transportation fuels such as biodiesel and E85 ethanol, which is an alternative fuel comprised of 85% ethanol and 15% gasoline.

   Grant funds awarded under the Alternative Fuels Incentive Program can be used to cover the added cost to purchase E85 or biodiesel. Eligible applicants include tax-exempt entities such as school districts, local government agencies, transit authorities, colleges and universities and nonprofit entities. Eligible applicants requesting funding for the purchase of biodiesel or E85 may be eligible for funding to install refueling equipment. Commonwealth producers of biodiesel or ethanol used in E85 are eligible for a reimbursement of $ .05 a gallon for up to 12.5 million gallons covering a 12-month period. The Department may consider projects that incorporate a ''new application'' or ''next phase technology'' in the production of biofuels such as biodiesel and ethanol for use as a motor vehicle fuel. Project costs cannot be incurred before the submittal of an application during the grant open opportunity time period.

   The application package including general information, instructions and application forms is available by contacting Department of Environmental Protection, Office of Energy and Technology Deployment, 15th Floor, Rachel Carson State Office Building, 400 Market Street, P. O. Box 8772, Harrisburg, PA 17105-8772, (717) 783-8411. The application package is also available electronically on the Department's website at www.depweb.state.pa.us (DEP Keywords: Alternative Fuels). Applications must be postmarked or received by 4 p.m. on June 15, 2007. Faxes will not be accepted. Use staples only, no binding or cover pages.

   Note that the Department's Energy Harvest Grant Program and the Pennsylvania Energy Development Authority Grant Program (PEDA) will be open at the same time (see 37 Pa.B. 1740 and 37 Pa.B. 1750, respectively).
