DMC Green Awarded DOE Grants for Ethanol Fueling Infrastructure

DMC Green, Inc. announced today that the Department of Energy (DOE) has awarded DMC Green two separate grants to support their on-going green fuel infrastructure projects in California. The two grants will help fund E85 ethanol installation for ten gas stations already in contract under the DMC Green California Dealers’ Retrofit program.

Announced on January 13, 2010 by U.S. Department of Energy Secretary Steven Chu, the DMC grants are a small part of an investment of nearly $80 million under the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act for advanced biofuels research and fueling infrastructure that will help support the development of a clean sustainable transportation sector for the United States. DMC Green’s standard fuel offering to existing station owners in their program includes ethanol, bio-diesel and electric car charging.

The stations, located in San Diego, Orange, Los Angeles, Kern, Fresno and Madera counties, were chosen for their high volume fuel sales and proximity to federal and state fleets. All stations are adjacent to the two largest traffic corridors in California -- Interstate 5 and State Highway 99. These stations and their locations will complement the existing DMC Green alternative fuel station network.

Kent Leacock, Director of Corporate and Regulatory Affairs for DMC Green, said, “Constructing this network of alternative fuel stations along these corridors will allow the general public to make a faster transition from foreign source fossil fuels to domestically grown and produced renewable fuel products. We are gratified that our early efforts and vision for the future are being recognized by the Department of Energy as indicated by this award.”

Many of these sites will be the first existing retail fuel station in their community or county to offer green alternative and renewable fuels to their local residents and businesses. DMC Green is proud to partner with these forward thinking business owners and provide them with the leadership to improve their communities and increase environmental awareness.
