Biofuels Research and Development

The Alabama Research Alliance (ARA), administered by the Alabama Department of Economic and Community Affairs, facilitates scientific research and development, including agricultural research and development activities related to biofuels. Income received by the ARA may be used to support research and development activities. (Reference Executive Order 37, 2007)

Alternative Fuels Promotion and Information

The Center for Alternative Fuels (Center) is established within the Alabama Department of Agriculture and Industries to promote alternative fuels as a viable energy source in the state. The Center will assess the current status and development of sources of alternative fuels, ensure that all alternative fuels sold in the state meet ASTM standards, and act as an information center for alternative fuels and a clearinghouse for available federal grant funding for alternative fuel development. The Center will also administer a grant program funded by an income tax check-off program through the Alabama Alternative Fuels and Research Development Fund.
