Belize Energy Sector Diagnostic PUC 24 requirements, Belize imports two grades of gasoline for road transport, regular (octane 87) and premium (octane 91) and small volumes of aviation gasoline for specialist aircraft. Diesel is used both in the transport and electricity sub-sectors and kerosene62 is used in the aviation industry and for lighting. According to the 2000 Census, 24% of the households in the rural areas and 2.25% of urban households use kerosene lamps for lighting. 13% of total households use kerosene lamps for lighting as opposed to 1.5% for cooking.

Kerosene is the only import that recorded growth. Yet the reported data on the number of vehicles in Belize indicates a positive annual growth for most categories of vehicles charted. Private cars and trucks for example reflect a growth of 5 and 8% respectively. It is worthy of note that the higher growth rate of trucks vis a vie cars is not incidental. Rather it is the direct result of government vehicle importation policies that set a higher tariff for cars.63 The import schedule also suggests a policy orientation toward the encouragement of smaller, more fuel efficient vehicles, charging higher tariffs for vehicles, whether cars or trucks, with a six or greater cylinder engine. Personnel with the Ministry of Transport64 and the CSO could not explain the reported reduction in imports vis a vie the escalation in vehicle imports. However, they did suggest that the growing use of butane in the public transportation sector could be a factor. The Ministry of Transport suggested that of the roughly seventy-five (75) bus companies, operating both inter and intra district, “a lot” of the rural bus companies used butane65. There is no data on motor vehicle forecasts or expected growth of the transportation sub-sector. The following table indicates the number of vehicles licensed from 1995-2001: 62 note that there are two types of uses and users of Kerosene in Belize. The first is an illuminant, by households for lighting and the second is for aviation (known as turbo or Jet A1 fuel), used for small piston engine planes. Because residential consumption is small (less than 1%), A1 kerosene is the only grade imported and used for both households and small piston engine planes.

Cars depending of size of engine i.e. 4, 6 and higher are taxed at 57% and 65% respectively. Trucks are taxed at 31% for 4 cyl. and 37% for 6 cyl. 64 Mr. Tirso Galvez, Operations Manager, Ministry of Transport 65 Tirso Galvez, Operations OfficerPDF Image | Energy for Sustainable Development Toward a National Energy Strategy for Belize Energy Sector Diagnostic
