Alternative Fuel Infrastructure Tax Credit

For tax years beginning prior to January 1, 2011, the Colorado Department of Revenue offers an income tax credit for the cost of construction, reconstruction, or acquisition of an alternative fueling facility that is directly attributable to the storage, compression, charging, or dispensing of alternative fuels to motor vehicles. The credit value is as follows:

For an alternative fueling facility that will be generally accessible for use by the public, in addition to the person claiming the credit, the percentages specified above will be multiplied by 1.25. If at least 70% of the alternative fuel dispensed annually is derived from a renewable energy source for a period of 10 years, the credit percentages specified above will be multiplied by 1.25. Certification for the percentage of renewable energy must be presented, as requested, to the Department of Revenue. The credit has a maximum value of $400,000 in any consecutive five-year period for each fueling facility. For more information about this credit, see the Colorado Department of Revenue's Alternative Fuel Income Tax Credits Web site.

Promulgation of Renewable Fuel Storage Tank Regulations

The Director of the state Division of Oil and Public Safety must promulgate and enforce rules concerning the placement of an underground storage tank that contains renewable fuel. These rules must be promulgated so that the process of obtaining a permit for an underground storage tank that contains renewable fuel is more efficient and affordable. For the purpose of this regulation, a renewable fuel is a motor vehicle fuel that is produced from plant or animal products or wastes, as opposed to fossil fuel sources. (Reference Colorado Revised Statutes 8-20.5-202 and 8-20.5-302)
