Alternative Fuel Incentive Grants

About this grant

The Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection is offering funding for clean, alternative fuel projects in Pennsylvania and investment in Pennsylvania’s energy sector. DEP receives funding each year through the utilities gross receipts tax collected during each fiscal year to carry out the provisions of the Alternative Fuels Incentive Act. The primary goals of the Alternative Fuels Incentive Grant Program (AFIG) are to improve Pennsylvania’s air quality and reduce consumption of imported oil through the use of homegrown alternative fuels that will help the Commonwealth’s economy and environment. Vehicle Retrofit and Purchase projects include the incremental cost of purchase of new alternative fuel vehicles (any type or size). The new vehicles must be manufactured by the original equipment manufacturer to operate dedicated on alternative fuel. Vehicle Retrofit and Purchase also includes the incremental cost of retrofit of new or existing vehicles to operate on alternative fuels (any type or size) and can be operated on alternative fuel as dedicated. Eligible vehicles include but are not limited to: Dedicated RNG, LNG or CNG vehicles, liquid propane gas, hydrogen, biodiesel (blends greater than B20), and electricity (Battery Electric Vehicles only, including Neighborhood Electric Vehicles, and yard trucks); no GVWR limits. For further information on the program, see program guidance and review application instructions prior to applying.
