Incentives for Natural Gas Engines

In an effort to reduce dependence on oil, and reduce urban emissions and greenhouse gases, many governments have implemented incentives to encourage the purchase and use of natural gas vehicles (NGVs). Use the links below to find out about funding programs which may be available in your region.

Other Incentives

The passage of H.R. 4853—the Middle Class Tax Relief Act of 2010—in December 2010 extended two key incentives for natural gas vehicles in the United States. The legislation extends through 2011:

The 50-cent per gallon tax credit for compressed and liquefied natural gas when used as a vehicle fuel. This tax credit, which expired at the end of 2009, is retroactive for 2010.
The investment tax credit for alternative vehicle refueling properties, including natural gas stations. This covers 30% of the cost or $30,000, whichever is less. This credit also includes a $1,000 tax credit for a home refueling unit.

Customers should contact their local natural gas fuel provider for details.

Incentives will be provided at varying levels depending on the class of vehicle. The incentives will reduce the high initial price of natural gas and propane vehicles to assist public and private fleets and individual consumers in making the decision to purchase and utilize vehicles powered by non-petroleum, lower-carbon, alternative and renewable fuels.
