Louisiana Grants
Advanced Ethanol Fuel Blend Research Grants
Demonstration grants may be awarded by the Louisiana Commissioner of Agriculture and Forestry for the purchase of fueling pumps that are able to dispense advanced biofuel blends (E10, E20, E30 and E85), and for conducting research and developing guidelines on these fueling pumps. The Commissioner may also award grants for the purchase of vehicles for the purpose of conducting research on the advanced biofuel blends and/or the vehicle while operating on advanced bifuel blends. Advanced biofuel is defined as hydrous or anhydrous ethanol derived from sugar or starch, other than corn starch. Grants are dependent on available funding and further restrictions may apply.
