Application deadline for ethanol blender pump grants is tomorrow

By Jody Heemstra Aug 30, 2024 | 9:00 AM

AUGUST 9, 2024:

The Governor’s Office of Economic Development is reminding fuel retailers the Ethanol Blender Pump Grant application deadline is Aug. 31, 2024, deadline. This grant program is designed to expand the availability of ethanol blends across the state and help retailers install pumps.  The grant offers up to $25,000 per business for the first pump and $10,000 for subsequent pumps. Applications will be accepted on a first-come, first-served basis.

“We encourage all eligible fuel retailers to apply for this opportunity to expand their infrastructure and provide more choices to consumers,” said Deputy Commissioner Jesse Fonkert.
South Dakota has implemented a broad initiative to promote ethanol use across the state. Senate Bill 78, effective January 2025, will provide a 5-cent rebate for every gallon of E15 fuel sold. This legislation is designed to boost ethanol consumption and support local agriculture by incentivizing the sale of higher ethanol blends. Complementing this effort, the Ethanol Blender Pump Grant further supports the state’s commitment to expanding ethanol infrastructure and availability.

The Governor’s Office of Economic Development has grant funding available to help retailers install ethanol blender pumps at their gas stations.

Deputy Commissioner Chris Schilken says the Blender Pump Grant program has been allocated $500,000. He says applications will be accepted on a first-come, first-served basis, through Aug. 31, 2024.

Schilken says businesses may apply for up to $25,000 for the first pump and $10,000 for subsequent pumps. He says actual awards will be dependent on the number of applicants.

Schilken says ethanol is an important part of value-added agriculture in South Dakota, with 1.4 billion gallons produced annually. He says he’s pleased GOED can offer this assistance to retailers so they can increase the availability and encourage the use of ethanol blended fuels.
