(Biofuels Digest) In Washington, Growth Energy highlighted two programs for ethanol commercialization. The ethanol promotion group is offering $15,000 grants in Virginia and Washington State to install blender pumps in the Norfolk-Virginia Beach-Newport News area of Virginia and in the Seattle-Everett area of Washington State, as part of a $200,000 blender pump program with the DOE.
In addition, Growth Energy reported that the New York State Energy Research and Development Authority (NYSERDA) has extended a Biofuel Station Initiative that will allow for 50 percent of the costs, up to $50,000 per site, for new installations of biofuels dispensing equipment, storage tanks and associated piping equipment. NYSERDA advised that $4 million is still available for retail fueling stations.”
