The Virginia General Assembly is moving forward with legislation ( HB2313 ), that, among its other elements, would abolish the state’s gasoline and diesel fueltaxes and replace them with a sales tax. Currently, both gasoline and diesel carry a $0.175/gallon fueltax. cents-per-gallon tax.
The California state legislature passed and the Governor signed into law a bill ( AB-2663 ) that lowers the Use FuelTax rate of dimethyl ether (DME) from $0.18 per gallon of DME-propane fuel blend used on or after 1 July 2021 (the same tax rate as propane, $0.06 per gallon of DME used and $0.06 per gallon).
introduced the latest in a series of discussion drafts to overhaul the US tax code. This new staff discussion draft focuses energy tax policy on stimulating domestic, clean production of electricity and transportation fuels, which account for 68% of energy consumed in the US.
Australia Prime Minister Julia Gillard unveiled Australia’s carbon pricing plan—a core element in a new clean energy plan—in a short address to the nation. But we have now had the debate, 2011 is the year we decide that as a nation we want a clean energy future. Click to enlarge. —Prime Minister Gillard.
These services are funded in part by taxes. Election promises of more services and less taxes are ludicrous. So, as the proportion of electric cars on the roads rise, what will fill the funding gap left by the loss of petrol and diesel tax? Governments provide services for their people.
billion, could be part of the solution by paying for the development of greener technology that can help accelerate innovation and clean flying for everyone. T&E calculates that a jet fueltax applied proportionately to flight distances could raise €325 million if applied to all flights departing from the EU and UK.
Direct transportation (fuel) taxes generate the greatest reductions in CO 2 emission from transportation, achieving CO 2 emissions at 86% of 2005 levels by about 2025. While CO 2 prices are equivalent to fueltaxes, CO 2 prices at their projected levels are far too small to create a significant incentive to drive less.
The proposal was drafted as two measures, the Climate Protection Act —which sets the carbon price and finance programs for sustainable technologies—and the Sustainable Energy Act —which ends federal support for fossil fuel companies and research and extends tax incentives for renewables. Rebate program.
Proposed Texas Senate Bill 1728 (SB 1728) will make Tesla and EV owners pay an additional $200 EV tax if passed. The claim is that EV owners need to “pay their fair share” and “make up for” fueltaxes they don’t pay that support the state’s road and transportation infrastructure.
The revenue package adopted a shift in funding sources after an export fueltax projected to provide $2 billion in funding was removed on the House floor. The Clean Cars 2030 legislation—which sets a target for all new light-duty vehicles sold in the state to be electric by 2030—also passed as part of the package.
While this would be paid back by fuel savings, Fulton assues that to sell the cars, the full $500 billion would need to be offered as incentives to prospective buyers. Over the same time frame, drivers of conventional cars will save about $2 trillion net from fuel economy improvements, or roughly $2,000 per vehicle. per liter ($0.26/gallon
Based on our current projections, the well-to-wheel emissions advantage of EVs over ICE-propelled vehicles, currently estimated at 40 to 60 percent, will fall to 30 to 50 percent in 2020 as advances in ICE technologies narrow the gap and power generation from clean non-fossil fuels continues to grow slowly in most regions.

Our analysis shows that a diverse set of measures targeting vehicle buyers is necessary to drive widespread adoption of clean technologies. Making conventional gasoline and diesel vehicles more expensive to run—through increased fuel or carbon taxes—is not enough to incentivize the majority of consumers to change.
transportation, and ensure state fueltaxes can support all transportation modes. Update transportation financing and funding formulas to reward reductions in driving, VMT, and fuel. Dedicate revenue from GHG fees to fund clean transportation investment.
The ZEV regulations, which are now part of California’s comprehensive Advanced Clean Cars (ACC) program which also includes the LEV III tailpipe emissions standard, is the “technology-forcing piece” of the state’s regulatory package for light-duty vehicles. Could another policy have accomplished the same at less cost with less conflict?
The report cites a number of policy options to support achieving the goal, including: Fuel economy or CO 2 emission standards. Vehicle taxes and incentives. Component standards, taxes and incentives. Fueltaxes. Policy Development.
Transportation pricing: Gasoline taxes. Shift to VMT-based road fees as the number of ZEVs grows and fueltax revenues decline. Shifting toward low-carbon clean energy requires major investments in electricity and hydrogen. Transit-oriented development/densification. Active transportation. Dense urban area cordon pricing.
The US will also work with trading partners to launch negotiations at the World Trade Organization towards global free trade in environmental goods, including clean energy technologies such as solar, wind, hydro and geothermal.
But free public charging has caught to attention of local and state governments as a tax revenue generator (or a tax loophole). states now collect an electric fuel excise tax of 2-4 cents per kWH to compensate for fueltaxes lost to EVs. EV charging stations in several U.S.
Specific recommendations include: Invest in clean renewable energy, in particular taking advantage of solar and wind power resources and reducing reliance on coal, oil, and gas. The study recommends governments make air pollution prevention and control national priorities and create sustainable funding to support those priorities.
However, America’s clean energy transition has been characterized by siloed thinking and inflexibility despite significant advances in low-carbon fuel alternatives. But, there is still more that can be done to incorporate low-carbon fuel alternatives into our national climate strategy. Analysis of the Inflation Reduction Act.
Policies should be implemented to enforce a carbon tax combined with an increasing fueltax; current CAFE regulations should be extended and new regulations should be implemented; and improvements in existing fuels that would achieve fleet-wide GHG emissions reductions should be explored.
On Wednesday, Senator John Barrasso, of Wyoming, with a group of 14 Republican Senators signed on as co-sponsors of the bill, introduced legislation that could effectively end the EV tax credit. That might be a hard pill to swallow for a number of automakers; GM and Ford are reportedly among those seeking a gradual EV tax credit phaseout.
