Ethanol: Alternative and Renewable Fuel and Vehicle Technology Program.

Summary

Existing law establishes the Alternative and Renewable Fuel and Vehicle Technology Program, administered by the State Energy Resources Conservation and Development Commission (Energy Commission) , to provide to specified entities, upon appropriation by the Legislature, grants, loans, loan guarantees, revolving loans, or other appropriate measures, for the development and deployment of innovative technologies that transform California's fuel and vehicle types to help attain the state's climate change goals. Existing law specifies certain alternative and renewable fuel projects to develop and improve alternative and renewable low-carbon fuels, including ethanol, are eligible for funding. Existing law, until July 1, 2013, establishes requirements for biorefiners to receive loans from the California Ethanol Producer Incentive Program. This bill would provide that on and after July 1, 2013, the eligibility for funding of projects for the production of ethanol is limited to projects for the production of ethanol that are not derived from corn, except as provided.
