The Iowa Renewable Fuels Infrastructure Board is accepting applications through May 18 for cost-share funding to assist with the installation of ethanol and biodiesel equipment at retail stations and wholesale distribution centers. Approximately $1 million is available for this round of funding, which is the final round in a program that was awarded $3 million from the state legislature for fiscal year 2012. Retail stations are eligible to receive up to $50,000 per project if they commit to selling renewable fuels for at least five years.
