PA Department of Environmental Protection - Alternative Fuels Incentive Grant (AFIG) Program
The AFIG Program helps to create new markets for alternative fuels in Pennsylvania. An investment is being made not only in alternative fuels, but the deployment of alternative fuel vehicles, fleets, and technologies. The intent is to provide a stimulus for opportunities that better manage Pennsylvania's fuel resources in a way that also improves the environment, supports economic development and enhances the quality of life.
The primary goals of the AFIG Program 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. Through the program, DEP solicits applications for innovative, advanced fuel and vehicle technology projects resulting in cleaner advanced alternative transportation within the Commonwealth.
