Fuel taxes

The Energy PoHcy Act of 1992 (H.R. 776) has Hberalized the rules concerning biofuels and provides tax incentives for increased usage. Many states also have gasohol fuel tax exemptions in place, and some have enacted legislation that requites use of oxygenated fuels under certain conditions. Most of these laws impact favorably on biofuels usage. 

One problem with fuel taxes, continuing fines, and effluent fees is how to use the funds collected most effectively. Among the ideas which have been developed are to use the funds as the basis for loans or subsidies for... 

Although truckers pay road and fuel taxes, it pays only a small fraction of the cost of safety inspections and road damage from trucking. The taxes paid/benefits received imbalance has only grown through the years. 

Diesels are less than 1% of car and light truck sales in the U.S. But, they are more popular in Europe with its high gasoline prices. Their fuel taxes help to promote diesels and the emissions standards are less strict. Diesels are in almost 40% of the cars in Europe. By 2001 they were in most of the new cars sold in many European countries.

A summary of levelized H2 pump prices, system capital investments, and levelized PV electricity prices are presented in Figs. 8-11 A summary of results for first gen eration (Year 1 Year 30) H2 production are as follows. The levelized H2 pump price, which does not include fuel use taxes, ranges from 6.48- 5.53/kg for 10% and 14% efficient PV modules respectively. With fuel tax, the H2 pump price is 7.47 6.52/kg, which is comparable to high-end 2005-2006 U.S. gasoline prices when the H2 is for FCVs with a fuel economy 2.2-times greater than conventional ICE ve hides.

Until now, fuel taxes have been excluded from the analysis, except for the minor cost of emission allowances to oil refining, expected to be mirrored by a tax on emissions from fuel production not included in the EU Emissions Trading System (EU ETS). Thus, the per km costs depicted in Figure 12.5 may be close to those paid by US consumers, but far from those paid by EU consumers, where high fuel taxes are applied. All the EU countries adhere to the minimum diesel tax of 68.3/GJ and petrol tax of 10.8/GJ and the EU-15 countries (except Spain) apply petrol tax rates from 16-26/GJ. High fuel taxes amplify the effect of the fuel efficiency on the cost per km and thus a cost advantage to the more efficient solution. 

The conclusion is that it is not necessary to provide specific tax favors for hydrogen. A uniform fuel tax at a level like 615/GJ rewards the more efficient technologies. It materializes in a fuel cost advantage for the more efficient hydrogen and fuel cell concept. 

Since industrially used toluene is very unlikely to have had any motor fuel tax paid on it, its theft for this purpose is likely to be a crime against both the owner and the tax authorities. It is treated very seriously by the latter.
