Michigan Grants

Alternative Fuel Fueling Infrastructure Grants

The Michigan Strategic Fund (MSF) has created the Ethanol and Biodiesel Matching Grant Program to provide incentives to owners and operators of service stations to convert existing and install new fuel delivery systems designed to provide E85 and biodiesel blends. Grants may not exceed 75% of the costs to convert existing fueling infrastructure, up to $3,000 per facility. Grants may not exceed 50% of the new construction costs to install new fueling infrastructure, up to $12,000 per facility for E85 and $4,000 per facility for biodiesel blends. Other funding limitations may apply. For the purpose of this grant program, biodiesel must meet American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM) D-6751 specification and be approved by the Michigan Department of Agriculture. E85 is defined as a fuel blend containing between 70% and 85% denatured ethanol and meets ASTM D-5798 specifications. (Reference Michigan Compiled Laws 125.2078)
