42 U.S.C. § 13253 — Replacement fuel supply and demand program

**(a) Establishment of program** The Secretary shall establish a program to promote the development and use in light duty motor vehicles of domestic replacement fuels. Such program shall promote the replacement of petroleum motor fuels with replacement fuels to the maximum extent practicable. Such program shall, to the extent practicable, ensure the availability of those replacement fuels that will have the greatest impact in reducing oil imports, improving the health of our Nation’s economy and reducing greenhouse gas emissions. **(b) Development plan and production goals** Under the program established under subsection (a), the Secretary, before October 1, 1993, in consultation with the Administrator, the Secretary of Transportation, the Secretary of Agriculture, the Secretary of Commerce, and the heads of other appropriate agencies, shall review appropriate information and— (1) estimate the domestic and nondomestic production capacity for replacement fuels and alternative fueled vehicles needed to implement this section; (2) determine the technical and economic feasibility of achieving the goals of producing sufficient replacement fuels to replace, on an energy equivalent basis— (A) at least 10 percent by the year 2000; and (B) at least 30 percent by the year 2010, of the projected consumption of motor fuel in the United States for each such year, with at least one half of such replacement fuels being domestic fuels; (3) determine the most suitable means and methods of developing and encouraging the production, distribution, and use of replacement fuels and alternative fueled vehicles in a manner that would meet the program goals described in subsection (a); (4) identify ways to encourage the development of reliable replacement fuels and alternative fuel
