19 A competitive grant program that provides grants for the construction or reconstruction of facilities to dispense alternative fuel. Grant-funded fueling stations must be located in the nonattainment areas. Grant-funded fueling stations must be made available to the public and must operate for at least three years. Alternative fuels include electricity, natural gas, hydrogen, propane, biodiesel, or a mixture of fuels containing at least 85% methanol by volume (M85). Grant amounts are awarded for the lesser of 50% of the eligible costs or $600,000.

26 Provides grants to assist in the implementation of new technologies to reduce emissions of regulated pollutants from point sources. Eligible categories of projects include: −Advanced Clean Energy; −New Technology that reduces emissions of regulated pollutants from point sources and involve capital expenditures that exceed a minimum level; and −Electricity Storage projects related to renewable energy. Applicants must provide a detailed implementation plan that: −maximizes the likelihood that the technology will be implemented in Texas as soon as practical; and −demonstrates the applicant's ability to operate and maintain the grant-funded technology for the duration of the contract, including a five-year reporting period.
