ARG Gets Grant to Build Two
Biofuels Storage Tanks
American Refining Group will receive a $609,422 alternative and clean energy program grant from the state to build and install two above-ground biofuels storage tanks in Bradford.
One will be 65,800-gallon biodiesel tank; the other will be a 237,930-gallon ethanol tank.
The total project cost is $1.5 million and American Refining will provide $914,035 in matching funds.
In Potter County, Charles Cole Memorial Hospital will receive a $1 million alternative and clean energy program loan toward a biomass combustion unit and boiler unit to provide heat for the hospital.
Projected energy cost savings are $385,000 per year. The total project cost is $2.7 million, with the hospital providing $1.7 in matching funds from the U.S. Department of Agriculture.
These were among the projects announced today by Governor Ed Rendell. In all, more than $23 million was approved for 36 new solar and other alternative and clean energy projects that Rendell says will help maintain Pennsylvania’s status as a national leader in the drive to create a green economy.
