Grants for the conversion of diesel engine vehicles to use Pure Plant Oil (PPO) are made available by my Department, through Sustainable Energy Ireland (SEI). Grants of up to 45% of the cost (excl. VAT) of engine conversion are available. The support has been targeted at the four companies who were granted excise relief under the PPO category in the Pilot Biofuels Mineral Oil Tax Relief Scheme which was launched in 2005.
