E85 in Minnesota: Frequently Asked Questions
Why does Minnesota have so many E85 stations?
Minnesota enacted the nation's first state ethanol mandate in 1997 and has followed up with a continuous string of infrastructure grants and state-fleet use requirements. The state currently has about 450 public E85 stations — second only to California — supported by 19+ ethanol plants producing roughly 1.3 billion gallons per year. The regional brand Kwik Trip and the Minnesota-specific Minnoco banner are especially prominent on the pump.
Does Minnesota require state vehicles to use E85?
Yes. Executive Orders 04-10 (2004) and 06-03 (2006) require state employees operating flex-fuel vehicles to use E85 whenever it is reasonably available, and state agencies must develop infrastructure to support E85 and biodiesel. This fleet demand helps sustain Minnesota's dense E85 station network.
Are there grants for adding E85 pumps in Minnesota?
Yes. The Minnesota Department of Agriculture's AGRI Biofuels Infrastructure Grant provides up to $199,000 per retailer to install or upgrade equipment dispensing E15 through E85, with a 35% cost share and eligibility limited to operators of 20 or fewer retail dispensing stations. Federal support via the Section 30C tax credit is also available for property placed in service by June 30, 2026.
