  1. Maine Clean Communities Presenter: Steven Linnell Title: Coordinator E-mail: slinnell@gpcog.org Date: September 14, 2011 Clean Cities Program Overview

  2. Sponsored by the DOE’s Office of Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy's Vehicle Technologies program Provides a framework for businesses and governments to work together as a coalition to enhance markets Coordinate activities, identify mutual interests, develop regional economic opportunities, and improve air quality Clean Cities Clean Cities’ Mission To advance the energy, economic, and environmental security of the U.S. by supporting local decisions to adopt practices that contribute to the reduction of petroleum consumption in the transportation sector.

  3. 87 active coalitions in 45 states 775,000 AFVs using alternative fuels 6,600 AFV stations 8,400+ stakeholders Clean Cities Today

  4. Clean Cities Stakeholders • Coalitions are made up of local and national stakeholders. • Over 4,000 local stakeholders • 49% private stakeholders

  5. Clean Cities Strengthens Markets • Create jobs and commercial opportunities • Educate fleets, elected officials, and the general public • Encourage the use of alternative technologies • Expand infrastructure • Increase demand and help develop market-driven products • Increase public awareness • Support regulated fleets

Eliminate by promoting idle reduction, greater use of mass transit, trip elimination, and other congestion mitigation approaches. Petroleum Displacement Methods Reduce Replace Eliminate

  7. Fuel Economy Fuel efficiency Behavioral changes Vehicle maintenance initiatives Vehicle miles traveled (VMT) Hybrids Light- and Heavy-duty HEVs PHEVs Idle Reduction Heavy-duty trucks School buses Truck stop electrification Clean Cities Portfolio of Technologies Alternative Fuels and Vehicles • Biodiesel (B100) • Electricity • Ethanol (E85) • Hydrogen • Natural gas • Propane Fuel Blends • Biodiesel/diesel blends (B2, B5, B20) • Ethanol/gasoline blends (E10) • Hydrogen/natural gas blends (HCNG)
