The Iowa Renewable Fuels Infrastructure Program (RFIP) board approved 74 project applications totaling more than $3.4 million in cost-share funding for Iowa fuel retailers during its quarterly board meeting last week, a record amount awarded in a single quarter. According to a news release, 73 ethanol cost-share projects were awarded to install new ethanol infrastructure to support E15 expansion in 38 counties, as well as one biodiesel terminal project. The RFIP offers financial incentives to retailers for the installation, replacement and conversion of ethanol and biodiesel dispensing and storage infrastructure.
