SUMMARY
» While gasoline & diesel will dominate supply for the near future, opportunities for alternative fuels are growing.
» Like energy efficiency & renewables in buildings, alternatives can reduce risk & enhance the bottom line.
» Alternatives are diverse, with distinct applications for maritime, rail, logistics, transit, municipalities / government, airports, service fleets, private vehicles.
» A portfolio of planning, design & implementation strategies can overcome market barriers.
» Multi-discipline techniques (law, economics, engineering) & innovative funding (public & private) are essential to achieve results.

Incentive Description
Decal Fee for Florida
Registered VehiclesFee eliminated for alternative fuel vehicles.
Biofuels Investment Tax
Credit
Available for 75% of all capital, operation, maintenance and research and development
costs incurred with investment in the production, storage and distribution of biodiesel
(blends of B10 or above), ethanol (blends of E10 or above), or other renewable fuel, up to
$1 million annually per income taxpayer. The annual budget for this program is
$10,000,000.
Biodiesel Tax
ExemptionBiodiesel manufactured in a volume less than 1,000 gallons by a public or private
secondary school for its own use is exempt from the diesel fuel excise tax.
Natural Gas and
Propane Vehicle
Rebates
As of January 1, 2014, a rebate of 50% of the incremental cost of an OEM natural gas or
propane fleet vehicle up to $25,000 and $250,000 per applicant, per year, is available. For
2014, $6,000,000 has been allocated to the program, of which 40% is reserved for public
fleets. The remainder is earmarked for private fleets. Funding is subject to annual
reauthorization by the Florida legislature.
Natural Gas and
Propane Tax Holiday
CNG, LNG and Propane will be subject to an excise tax at a rate of $0.04 per GGE, a $0.01
ninth-cent fuel tax, a $0.01 local option fuel tax, and an additional variable component to
be determined by the Florida Department of Revenue each calendar year for the following
12-month period. However, these fuels are exempt from sales and excise taxes until 2019.
