[§196-42] State support for
achieving alternate fuels standards. The State shall facilitate the
development of alternate fuels and support the attainment of a statewide
alternate fuel standard of ten per cent of highway fuel demand to be provided
by alternate fuels by 2010, fifteen per cent by 2015, and twenty per cent by
2020. For purposes of the alternate fuels standard, ethanol produced from
cellulosic materials shall be considered the equivalent of 2.5 gallons of
noncellulosic ethanol. "Alternate fuels" shall have the same meaning
as contained in 10 Code of Federal Regulations Part 490; provided that it shall
also include liquid or gaseous fuels produced from renewable feedstocks such as
organic wastes, or from water using electricity from renewable energy sources.
