Clean Fuels welcomes greater consumer access to biodiesel

Clean Fuels Alliance America has thanked the US Department of Agriculture (USDA) for announcing new Higher Blends Infrastructure Incentive Programme grants for 59 projects, including ones that will increase consumer access to biodiesel from California to New Hampshire.
The industry said it appreciated USDA’s commitment to make additional funding available on a quarterly basis, with five application windows between July 1, 2023, and September 30, 2024. Clean Fuels has applauded USDA’s emphasis on fuel and home heating oil distribution projects.
Clean Fuels also congratulated member companies and industry partners that received matching funds for projects, including Crimson Renewable Energy, New Leaf, and World Energy.
The HBIIP grants provide matching funds for companies investing in new pumps, fuel storage, distribution and transportation infrastructure for biodiesel.
“Clean Fuels and its members appreciate the partnership with USDA to support industry investments in infrastructure for biodiesel,” said Kurt Kovarik, vice-president of federal affairs with Clean Fuels.
“This program enjoys bipartisan congressional support and it is successfully opening new markets to biodiesel.”
“Clean Fuels congratulates member companies Crimson Renewable Energy, New Leaf, and World Energy for specific projects and applauds the overall progress for the entire industry,” Kovarik continued. “These projects will increase the supply of better, cleaner fuels in states and regions where consumer demand is increasing quickly.”
