TCEQ Launches $12 Million Alternative Fuel Grant for Texas

SECAUCUS, NJ — The Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (TCEQ) announced on Wednesday (10/23) a $12 million grant program to finance the construction of alternative fueling infrastructure across 88 Texas counties.

The initiative aims to expand access to lower-emission vehicle fuels — a key component of the state’s air quality improvement efforts — and will be funded via the Texas Emissions Reduction Plan’s (TERP) Alternative Fueling Facilities Program.

Specifically designated for projects within the state’s designated Clean Transportation Zone, the grant’s ceilings will vary based on the fuel type of the proposed facility.

Compressed Natural Gas or Liquefied Natural Gas projects are eligible for up to $400,000. Combined CNG and LNG projects will receive up to $600,000.

Projects for other eligible fuels — including hydrogen, biodiesel, propane, electricity, and methanol (85% blend or greater) — are capped at $600,000 or 50% of eligible costs, whichever is less.
