Iowa boosts retailers; blender pump opens

February 10, 2009

Iowa continues to forge ahead in renewable fuels infrastructure development with the help of grants recently doled out by the Iowa Department of Economics Renewable Fuel Infrastructure Board. More than $1.52 million was given to 43 biodiesel and E85 retailers and terminal operators across the state to expand their E85 and biodiesel fuel infrastructure

Of the 43 projects, 13 involved biodiesel dispensers, including Pioneer's Rest Area in Dubuque, Iowa, which recently installed the state's first biodiesel blender pump. Now operational, it offers B2 and B5 blends.

Twelve tank wagons and three biodiesel terminals also received funding. The RFIB plans to provide $13 million in financial incentives over the next three years to further expand consumer access to renewable fuels.
