Alternative Fuels Incentive Grant (AFIG) Program

The AFIG Program provides financial assistance for innovative, advanced fuel and vehicle technology projects. Projects that result in product commercialization and the expansion of Pennsylvania companies are favored in the selection process. Eligible applicants include school districts, municipal authorities, political subdivisions, non-profits, corporations, limited liability companies or partnerships incorporated or registered in the Commonwealth. Projects must support:

• Incremental cost expenses relative to retrofitting vehicles to operate on alternative fuels;
• Incremental cost expenses to purchase alternative fuel vehicles;
• The cost to purchase and install the necessary fleet- or home-refueling equipment for alternative fuel vehicles; or,
• The cost to perform research, training, development and demonstration of new applications or next-phase technology related to alternative fuel vehicles.

Eligible applicants include school districts, municipal authorities, political subdivisions, non-profits, corporations, limited liability companies or partnerships incorporated or registered in the Commonwealth. Priority will be given to businesses located in Pennsylvania; zero emission vehicle projects; light- and medium-duty fleet refueling infrastructure projects; renewable natural gas and infrastructure projects; projects located in environmental justice areas; and minority-, veteran-, or woman-owned businesses.
