The Kansas Development Finance Authority may issue revenue bonds to cover the costs of construction or expansion of a biomass-to-energy facility. A qualifying biomass-to-energy facility includes any industrial process plant that uses biomass to produce at least 500,000 gallons of cellulosic alcohol fuel, liquid or gaseous fuel, or other source of energy in a quantity with energy content at least equal to that of 500,000 gallons of cellulosic alcohol fuel. Expansion of an existing biomass-to-energy facility is defined as expansion of the facility's production capacity by a minimum of 10%.

The U.S. Supreme Court ruled that carbon dioxide and other heat-trapping gases emitted from tailpipes are air pollutants covered by the Clean Air Act.

The U.S. Supreme Court ruled that carbon dioxide and other heat-trapping gases emitted from tailpipes are air pollutants covered by the Clean Air Act. The court further ruled that the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has the authority to regulate greenhouse gases unless it can provide a scientific basis for its refusal. The decision came in the case of [Massachusetts vs. EPA, 05-1120](https://www.supremecourt.gov/opinions/06pdf/05-1120.pdf){target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"}, in which Massachusetts, California, and 10 other states filed suit against the EPA to force the agency to grant approval for their local programs to limit tailpipe emissions, beginning with the 2009 model year. The EPA had contended that it lacked authority to regulate those emissions or grant individual states the right to regulate them. *The U.S. Department of Energy is evaluating all records in accordance with current laws, regulations, and administrative directives.

⚡ EVVehicle Acquisition and Fuel Use Requirements for State and Alternative Fuel Provider Fleets
Technologies: Biodiesel, Ethanol, EVs, Fuel Economy / Efficiency, Hydrogen Fuel Cells, Natural Gas, PHEVs, Propane (LPG)
Under the Energy Policy Act (EPAct) of 1992, as amended, certain state government and alternative fuel provider fleets are required to acquire alternative fuel vehicles (AFVs) as a portion of their annual light-duty vehicle acquisitions.

Under the Energy Policy Act (EPAct) of 1992, as amended, certain state government and alternative fuel provider fleets are required to acquire alternative fuel vehicles (AFVs) as a portion of their annual light-duty vehicle acquisitions. Compliance is required by fleets that operate, lease, or control 50 or more light-duty vehicles within the United States. Of those 50 vehicles, at least 20 must be used primarily within a single Metropolitan Statistical Area/Consolidated Metropolitan Statistical Area, and those same 20 vehicles must also be capable of being centrally fueled for the fleet to be subject to the regulatory requirements. Under [Standard Compliance](https://epact.energy.gov/standard-compliance), the AFVs that covered fleets acquire help them achieve compliance, with each AFV acquired earning the fleet one AFV-acquisition credit. Covered fleets may earn additional credits for AFVs earned in excess of their requirements, and these credits may be banked for future use toward compliance or traded with other fleets. Additionally, fleets that use fuel blends containing at least 20% biodiesel (B20) in medium- and heavy-duty vehicles may earn credits toward their annual AFV-acquisition requirements. A fleet may also earn credits that may be used toward compliance or banked once the fleet achieves compliance for investments in alternative fuel infrastructure, mobile non-road equipment, and emerging technologies associated with certain electric drive vehicle technologies. Fleets may also opt into [Alternative Compliance](https://epact.energy.gov/alternative-compliance), which allows fleets the option to choose a petroleum reduction path in lieu of acquiring AFVs under Standard Compliance. Interested fleets must obtain from DOE a waiver from Standard Compliance by submitting a plan that demonstrates a path by which they will achieve a certain level of petroleum reduction specific to their fleet composition. For more information, visit the [EPAct State and Alternative Fuel Provider Fleets](https://epact.energy.gov/) website. (Reference 42 [U.S. Code](https://www.govinfo.gov/) 13251 and 13263a, and 10 [CFR](https://www.govinfo.gov/) 490)

The cost to submit an air quality permit application for an ethanol production plant is \$1,000. An annual renewal fee is also required for the duration of the air quality permit. The annual renewal fee includes an administrative fee of \$1,000 and an emissions fee equaling \$40 per ton of particulate matter, sulfur dioxide, nitrogen oxide, volatile organic compounds, and hazardous air pollutants emitted during the previous calendar year. The annual fee must be paid to the South Dakota Department of Agriculture and Natural Resources by July 31 following the year in which the permit is issued and annually thereafter.

Every other year, the Washington State Departments of Ecology and Commerce must post and maintain on the department's website and report to the governor and legislature on the total GHG emissions in the state for the most recent two years for which data are available. Beginning in 2027 this reporting will be required annually.

With the exception of law enforcement vehicles, all newly acquired state agency vehicles must be capable of using an alternative fuel and must use the relevant alternative fuel if it is reasonably priced and available. Alternative fuel is defined as any fuel containing 85% or more ethanol (E85), fuel blends containing at least 20% biodiesel (B20), natural gas, propane, hydrogen, electricity, or any other fuel that the U.S. Department of Energy has determined is substantially not petroleum. State agencies must also meet the annual average fuel economy requirement set by the Ohio Department of Administrative Services on all passenger automobiles purchased. Law enforcement and emergency rescue work vehicles are exempt from this requirement. The Office of the Ohio Treasurer established a biodiesel revolving fund in which funds appropriated by the Ohio General Assembly can be used to pay for the incremental cost of biodiesel used in state owned or leased diesel vehicles.
