• The San Diego Clean Cities Coalition is a balanced partnership of public, private agencies, businesses and interested citizens dedicated to reducing the San Diego Region's dependence on conventional petroleum-based fuels in order to improve the region's air quality. ...

• Fuels are chemical substances which may be burned in oxygen to generate heat. ... There are solid, liquid and gaseous fuels. Coal and Coke are examples of solid fuels. Petroleum oils are usually a mixture of several liquid fuels. Gaseous fuels may be a mixture of gases such as methane (CH4), ethane (C2H6) and so on. ...

• FOSSIL FUELS.
• There is no question that the use of fossil fuels will continue to dominate world's energy supply in the foreseeable future. ...
• The vast majority of fossil fuels is burnt with oxygen from air to produce heat. ... The molecules of fossil fuels (for example methane, CH4, consisting of one carbon atom bound by four hydrogen atoms) react with the oxygen molecules (O2, two oxygen atoms connected to each other) and a rearrangement of their constituent atoms takes place. ...
• Because fossil fuels are of interest for their heating value, a very important comparison of their virtues is in terms of cost of a given quantity of thermal energy. ... While the prices of fuels may vary considerably with time and place of purchase, the procedure outlined below is valid always. ...
• For an illustration of current prices of fossil fuels, as reported by the media, see here. ...

• Special Fuels Taxes.
• Special fuels include diesel, kerosene, heating fuel, compressed natural gas (CNG), and liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) known as propane. A special fuel tax of 21 cents per gallon is imposed on all undyed (not red) diesel fuels. ... A 2% special fuel excise tax is imposed on dyed (red) diesel fuels and heating fuels, and on kerosene and LPG sold for uses other than in a licensed motor vehicle. ...
• The aviation fuel tax is imposed on the sale of aviation gasoline and jet fuels at a rate of 8 cents per gallon. ...

• Tax Incentives for Alcohol Fuels.
• The Federal tax code contains five tax incentives that benefit alcohol fuels: the 5. 4¢ per gallon excise tax exemption, the 54¢ per gallon blender's tax credit, the 10¢ per gallon small ethanol producers' credit, the income tax deduction for alcohol-fueled vehicles, and the alternative fuels production tax credit. These tax incentives were enacted to encourage substitution of renewable alcohol fuels for gasoline and diesel, to conserve petroleum in the transportation sector, and reduce dependence on petroleum imports. ... More recently, proponents of expanding the alcohol fuels tax incentives argue that they reduce smog and improve air quality.
• EXEMPTIONS FROM THE MOTOR FUELS EXCISE TAXES.
• The most important tax incentive for alcohol fuels, the one most responsible for the development of the alcohol fuels market, is the 5. ... (1) In addition, the IRC imposes tax on diesel and a variety of other motor fuels used in highway transportation, with the tax rates varying by type of fuel and its use. ...
• The excise tax exemptions for alcohol fuels apply to both blended fuels and straight alcohol fuels. Mixtures of motor fuels and biomass-derived alcohols (either methanol or ethanol produced from plants and other renewables) are partially exempt from the 18. ... Alcohol blended with diesel or one of the other special motor fuels is also partially exempt from tax.
• Second, for the blended fuels, the alcohol cannot be derived from petroleum, natural gas, or coal (including peat). ... In effect, however, only ethanol is tax exempt because most of the economically feasible methanol is derived either from natural gas or coal, which does not qualify for the exemption for blended fuels. ...
• Straight alcohol fuels -- mixtures that contain a minimum of 85% alcohol -- also qualify for the excise tax exemptions at varying rates. ... In the case of 86% alcohol (ethanol or methanol) derived from natural gas, there is a separate motor fuels tax exemption of 7. ...

• Fuels and Energy.
• Because of lopsided and uneconomical dependence on this single fuel, the fuels and energy sector of the economy was a primary target for reorganization and streamlining in the early 1990s. ... Higher, market-established prices of fuels and electricity were expected to induce more economical fuel consumption, as were modern fuel-saving technologies in industry, construction, and transportation and gradual elimination of the most heavily fuel-intensive industries. ...
