The Iowa Department of Agriculture and Land Stewardship has announced another round of Renewable Fuel Infrastructure Program (RFIP) Grants.The funds are for the building and maintenance of ethanol infrastructure at 90 gas stations across the state.

Within the KCII listening area, gas stations received funds include the Washington Casey’s with $6,831.72, the New London Jet Gas Corp. receiving the maximum $75,000, the New London Casey’s at $12,682.31, the Sigourney Casey’s at $2,859.76, and the Williamsburg Casey’s at $5,416.55.

RFIP grants are cost-sharing grants designed to help retailers with the installing, replacing, or converting of fuel infrastructure that can support renewable fuels. The grants cover 90% of the costs for retailers that have never stored or dispensed E-15 fuel with 10 or fewer gas stations and total fuel gallonage less than 140,000, 75% for such retailers with total fuel gallonage more than 140,000, and 70% for all other retailers.

The awards come ahead of the E-15 Fuel Access Standard, set to go into effect on January 1, 2026, which requires most gas stations and fuel retailers to offer E-15.
