Iowa’s cost-share Renewable Fuels Infrastructure Program recently awarded $1.86 million in grants for 48 applicants to add biofuels to retail sites. Four applications aimed to add B11 at select sites, while the remaining 44 focused on expanding E15 availability at retail locations.
“Following RFIP’s latest round of grant awards in July, it is exciting to see even more retailers take advantage of this opportunity to provide biofuels to customers,” said Lisa Coffelt, Marketing Director at the Iowa Renewable Fuels Association, who sits on the Renewable Fuel Infrastructure Board.

To qualify for the program, biodiesel retailers must use the infrastructure to offer biodiesel blended fuel classified as B11 (11 percent biodiesel) or higher. During colder months, retailers can offer B5. Ethanol retailers can qualify for E15 and higher blends.
To date, the program has granted over $61 million to help fund ethanol and biodiesel infrastructure across Iowa, allowing retailers to add necessary equipment to their stations to offer higher blends of biofuels. RFIB consists of voting members appointed by the Governor of the State of Iowa.
