Biodiesel Production and Distribution Grant Program
The Biodiesel Production and Distribution Grant Program is a funding opportunity available to qualified
Connecticut biodiesel producers and/or distributors looking to advance and strengthen their business capabilities within the Connecticut supply chain. A total of $2.5 million has been made available by the State of
Connecticut to support the program and provide grants for the production of biodiesel and the construction and/or modification of biodiesel production, storage, and distribution facilities. Funds will be administered by CCAT with funding provided by the Department of Economic and Community Development from December 1, 2007 to December 31, 2010.
The Program was developed in order to increase economic growth opportunities for Connecticut's clean energy sector and promote a greater use of biodiesel; advance technological innovation in biodiesel; increase public confidence, support and awareness for biodiesel; support the development of biodiesel production and distribution equipment and facilities; and reduce dependence on fossil fuel consumption, and greenhouse gas emissions.
The Biodiesel Production and Distribution Grant Program offers grants for the following:
- Biodiesel Production Facility Grant: to assist with purchasing equipment or constructing, modifying or retrofitting biodiesel production facilities. Grants are limited to $3 million
(Not currently accepting applications)
-
Biodiesel Production Grant: Consistent with Public Act 10-64, each qualified producer shall be eligible for a grant equal to, but not more than, ten cents per gallon, regardless of the total number of gallons of biodiesel produced, in the event that all moneys available for such grant program total one hundred thousand dollars or less.
The current balance of the Biodiesel Production Grant account is less than one hundred thousand dollars; consequently, the current subsidy amount is ten cents per gallon.

If the 15th is a Saturday, Sunday, or holiday, then applications are due by 5:00P.M. EST the following business day. The last application may be filed no later than December 31, 2010.
