The State of Utah offers tax credits, loans, and grants to businesses, individuals, and government entities to reduce the cost of purchasing AFVs. AFVs help reduce air pollution because they run on fuels that are cleaner than gasoline. AFV engines are fueled by compressed natural gas, propane, methanol, ethanol, and power, which reduce emissions. In addition to lowering emissions, purchasing locally supplied alternative fuels decreases our reliance on petroleum imports.
