Pursuant
to Assembly Bill (AB)
1811, the California Air Resources Board (ARB) is to
develop a joint plan with the California Energy Commission to spend $25
million for the purposes of incentivizing the use and production of
alternative fuels. AB 1811 requires the funds to be encumbered by June
30, 2007.
There are a number of recent state policy directives that call for
substantial expansion of the use and production of alternative fuels
made from biomass and to reduce dependence on petroleum-based fuels.
These include the Climate Action Plan, Executive Order
S-06-06, and the Bioenergy Action Plan for California. To
support these policy directives, AB 1811 provided $25 million to
incentivize and fund:
- Market-based
incentives for high efficiency, high mileage, alternative fuel light,
medium, and heavy duty vehicles, both individual and public fleets, in
California.
- Production
incentives for alternative fuel production in California;
- Market-based
incentives for the construction of both publicly accessible alternative
fuel retail refueling stations and fleet fueling facilities; including
E-85.
- Funding
for research, development, and testing of alternative fuels and vehicle
technology.
- Incentives
to replace the current state vehicle fleet with clean, high mileage
alternative fuel vehicles.
