Alternative fuels, as defined by the Energy Policy Act of 1992 (EPAct), include ethanol, natural gas, propane, hydrogen, biodiesel*, electricity, methanol, and p-series
fuels. These fuels are being used worldwide in a variety of vehicle
applications. Learn more about how the EPAct Program works by going to
the EPAct Web site.
Using these alternative fuels in vehicles can generally reduce harmful
pollutants and exhaust emissions. In addition, most of these fuels can
be domestically produced and derived from renewable sources.
Use these alternative fuels pages to learn more about the fuels,
their benefits, and how they can be used in personal and fleet
vehicles. You can compare alternative fuels properties, including benefits, environmental impacts, and more. To get regional alternative fuel pricing data, got to the Alternative Fuel Price Report.
* Pure biodiesel (B100) is considered an alternative fuel under
EPAct. Lower-level biodiesel blends are not considered alternative
fuels, but covered fleets can earn one EPAct credit for every 450
gallons of B100 purchased for use in blends of 20% or higher. To learn
more, visit the EPAct Alternative Fuels Web page.
