Florida Farm to Fuel Grants Program
In 2006, the Department was instrumental in securing from the Florida Legislature $5 million in funding for Renewable Energy Technologies Grants Program for Bioenergy administered by the Florida Department of Environmental Protection in addition to $10 million for other Renewable Energy Technologies Grants. Information about these grants can be found at: http://www.dep.state.fl.us/energy/default.htm.
In 2007, the Florida Legislature established the Farm to Fuel™ Grants Program to provide matching grants for demonstration, commercialization, research and development projects relating to bioenergy. As part of this program, the Legislature appropriated $25 million in matching grants. The Program intends to stimulate investment in energy projects that produce bioenergy from Florida-grown crops or biomass.
Grant funds are available to Florida municipalities and county governments, established for-profit companies licensed to do business in Florida , universities and colleges in Florida , utilities located and operating within Florida and not-for-profit organizations.
