  1. CLEAN CITIES Margo Melendez Transportation Deployment Manager BusCon 2011 Chicago, IL National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL)

  2. What is Clean Cities • What has Clean Cities Accomplished • How does Clean Cities Work

  3. 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.

  4. Clean Cities Portfolio of Technologies Reduce Replace Eliminate • Alternative Fuels • Biodiesel (B100) • Electricity • Ethanol • Hydrogen • Propane • Natural Gas Hybrids Light- and heavy-duty Hydraulic hybrids Electric hybrids Plug-In hybrids EV’s Idle Reduction Heavy-Duty Trucks School & Transit Buses Light-Duty Vehicles Fuel Economy More Fuel efficient vehicles, adopting smarter driving and vehicle purchasing habits

  5. 88 active coalitions in 45 states 775,000 AFVs using alternative fuels 10,000+ stakeholders 21:1 leveraging of Federal investment in 20101 Clean Cities Today

  6. Number of AFVs and fuel displacement by fuel type Source: Clean Cities Metrics Report 2010

  7. Clean Cities Gets Results! • Displaced 2.4 Billion Gallons of Petroleum • Displaced $606 million gallons of gasoline in 2010 • > 2.4 billion GGE displaced by coalitions since 1993 • 15 million GGE in 1994 • 580,000 new AFVs on the road • Over 6000 alternative fueling stations (CC helped build >70% of them) 7 NREL stock photo Bottom line: > 2 billion GGE displaced, best yet to come

  8. Clean Cities Gets Results ! • Turning Garbage into Gas • Deployed biomethane technology from DOE R&D • Successful refuse truck tests • Potential 300 landfills each producing 20,000 gal/day LNG • Created Alternative Fuel Corridors • $35 million for infrastructure since 1998 • Biofuels I-65, OR, NY, PA, MD, VA, DC • Other fuels, e.g., natural gas in CA, UT, NY NREL stock photo 8 Bottom line: Generated alternative fuels and made them accessible

  13. National Parks Collaboration • Glacier NP • Propane conversions for the “Red Bus” fleet • Great Smoky Mountains NP • Hybrid-electric buses • Yellowstone NP • Effort to redesign “Yellow Bus” fleet to AFVs

  14. Clean Cities National Parks Initiative 2010 Pilot Projects • Mammoth Cave NP • Four Bluebird propane school buses • Yellowstone NP • 36 passenger hybrid diesel bus • Utilizing B20

  15. National Clean Fleet Partnership • Charter Members: • AT&T • FedEx • PepsiCo • UPS • Verizon http://www1.eere.energy.gov/cleancities/national_partnership.html

  16. National Fleet Outreach What is the National Clean Fleets Partnership? The National Clean Fleets Partnership will help large companies reduce diesel and gasoline use in their fleets through a public-private partnership that offers specialized resources, technical expertise, and support to help partner companies incorporate electric vehicles, alternative fuels, and fuel saving measures into their daily operations.

  17. NCFP Benefits • Coordinate with all coalitions via a single point of entry • Unbiased, accurate technical and market resources • Expert help to create individual petroleum reduction plans • Access to new and existing Clean Cities tools • Recognition at national and local level • Potential for group purchasing, aggregate vehicle acquisition, and strategic infrastructure development

  18. Who Is Eligible for NCFP? NCFP Qualifications • Pledge to reduce petroleum usage on an annual basis • Operate fleets in multiple states • Own or have control over 50% of their fleet • Have the ability to use alternative fuels or advanced vehicle technologies • Have resources and support for a petroleum reduction strategy • Actively participate in at least one coalition
