Grants

USDA Biodiesel and Ethanol Blender Pumps

Currently funding for biodiesel or ethanol blender pumps/stations is available for rural areas of Utah. Typically, rural areas apply to almost anything but the Wasatch Front and St George areas. Grants and loans for these projects are continuously available from USDA.

Current UCCC Grants:

Utah State Energy Program

UCCC is partially funded by a 3 year grant from the Utah State Energy Program to cover promotion and education for alternative fuel and advanced technology vehicles in Utah. This generous grant also helps UCCC to be able to participate in public awareness campaigns such as the Clear the Air Challenge and Idle Free Utah, both which teach Utahns the benefits and importance of using their vehicles less.

AAA Greenlight Grant

Salt Lake City and the UCCC received $10,000 to assist in deferring costs of three new electric vehicles. The T3 Motion Electric vehicle is all electric, rechargeable, 0 degree turning radius, cargo capacity of 450 pounds and operates for less than 10 cents per day.

The opportunity to utilize the electric vehicle and electricity as a fuel source accelerates Salt Lake Cities commitment to air quality and provides a demonstration how other cities in Utah and throughout the neighboring states can overcome the challenges associated with making pollution prevention a priority through the process of cleaning up their fleets.

Utah State Grant/Loan Recipients

Several of our members worked with UCCC to apply for State Grant/Loan money and were successful in their applications. These members include Semi Service and Kennecott Utah Copper. Congratulations as well to Salt Lake City, University of Utah, Ace Disposal, and Uintah Gas for their awards.
