North Dakota Incentives and Laws for Hydrogen Fuel Cells

The list below contains summaries of all North Dakota incentives and laws related to Hydrogen Fuel Cells.

State Incentives

Hydrogen Fuel Tax Exemption

The sale of hydrogen fuel to power an internal combustion engine or fuel cell is exempt from the state sales tax. (Reference North Dakota Century Code 57-39.2.04)

Laws and Regulations

Alternative Fuel Labeling Requirement

Alternative fuel retailers must label retail dispensing units with the price, name, and main components of the alternative fuel or alternative fuel blend being sold. The labeling must follow established labeling specifications for petroleum-based fuels. An alternative fuel producer may provide the retailer with a label promoting the benefits of the alternative fuel if the label meets the specified requirements. Alternative fuel is defined as a fuel used in an engine or vehicle other than a petroleum-based fuel, including biodiesel and green diesel. Alcohol fuel blends containing at least 1% of alcohol by volume must also be clearly labeled at the dispenser and on any price advertisements. (Reference Senate Bills 2034 and 2127, 2011, and North Dakota Century Code 19-10-03.1 and 19-10-03.3)

Renewable Fuels Promotion

Recognizing that biofuels such as ethanol and biodiesel will be an important part of the state's energy economy and advanced research in biofuels production from biomass will be critical to the long-term viability of biofuels, the North Dakota Legislature adopted the goal that 25% of the nation's energy consumption will come from renewable sources by the year 2025.
