Alternative Fuel Vehicle Conversion Grants for Businesses

The Utah Conversion to Alternate Fuel Grant Program provides grants to businesses that install conversion equipment on eligible vehicles that allow the vehicles to operate on alternative fuel or reduce a vehicle’s emissions of regulated pollutants. Businesses are required to pass these savings along to the individual who purchases the converted vehicle. Grants are available for 50% of the cost of conversion, up to $2,500. Eligible alternative fuels include propane, natural gas, and electricity. For more information, see the Utah Conversion to Alternative Fuel Grant Program website. (Reference Utah Code 19-1-401, 19-1-402, 19-1-403.3, and 19-1-405)

Hydrogen Fuel Production Incentives

Businesses that convert natural gas to hydrogen fuel, or produce natural gas solely for use in the production of hydrogen fuel for zero emission vehicles (ZEVs), may be eligible for an oil and gas severance tax credit. Each eligible applicant may receive a tax credit equal to the amount of the severance tax owed, up to $5 million per year. Entities that produce hydrogen fuel for use in ZEVs or hydrogen fueled trucks may also qualify for grant funding or loans from the Community Impact Fund. (Reference Utah Code 35A-8-302 and 59-5-102)
