E85 infrastructure grant program

A state grant program would help gas station owners install tanks and pumps used to store and dispense ethanol-gasoline blends under a bill advanced from general file April Curt Friesen. LB , introduced by Sen. Curt Friesen of Henderson, would create a cost-share grant program administered by the Nebraska Energy Office meant to improve retail motor fuel sites by installing, replacing or converting infrastructure used to store, blend or dispense gasoline-ethanol blends.

An owner or operator of a retail motor fuel site would be eligible to apply for the grants, which could be used only for infrastructure projects designed and used to store and dispense E or E gasoline or a blend of ethanol and gasoline from a pump designed to blend those fuels.

Although Nebraska is the second largest ethanol producer in the country, Friesen said, few retail locations in the state dispense E, E and E, blended fuels with higher ethanol content. Upgrading and updating fueling infrastructure can be costly, and a large hurdle for retailers.

Grants provided will help our local small businesses and all Minnesotans as we transition to renewable fuels. While we wait for application periods to open up, now is the time for station owners to talk with equipment vendors and us to get prepared.
