  2. Alternative Fuels Virginia Alternate Fuel Leadership - McDonnell • Opportunity of alternative fuels – Jobs, security, environment, choice • Governor signs legislation and Executive Order beginning transition of state vehicles to alternative fuel on July 12, 2011 • Millions in investment for alternative fuels at state level • Nation’s largest propane autogas deployment project • Comprehensive EV planning effort statewide and in Richmond • 3rd party sales for electricity for Evs and nighttime off peak rates

  3. WHY - Health and Environment • Carbon Monoxide (CO) • Cardiovascular disease, damage nervous system 56-95% of US CO is emitted by vehicles • Nitrogen Oxides (NOx) • Respiratory damage – autism link - 55% from vehicles • Particulate Matter (PM) • Aggravate asthma, emphysema, bronchitis, heart disease, lung disease, water pollution – directly from vehicles • Ozone • Smog – reduce lung function • Greenhouse Gases (GHGs) • Global pollutant, CO2most abundant

  4. Oil Dependence • Rising Petroleum Prices U.S. Owns 2-3% of world oil reserves U.S. Uses 25% of worlds oil • Volatility of Petroleum Market • 2013 highest fuel costs on record in U.S. • Significant production domestically, but 50% imports • Survey Finds 62% of Fleet Managers Plan to Purchase More Fuel-Efficient Vehicles in 2013 • 70% of respondents think fuel cost may go up in 2013 • CHOICE

  5. Oil Dependence Reducing Petroleum Consumption Petroleum = most consumed energy source in U.S. About half of petroleum used is imported U.S. spends $1 million per minute on petroleum $Nearly one billion per day on petroleum imports $297 billion per year on petroleum imports VA transportation 99 % petroleum - gasoline diesel $13.4 billion a year in VA on petroleum for transportation Statistically, 100% of our oil is out of state (99.98%) 90,758,000 barrels imported, 12,000 produced (2011 EIA) $35 million a day leaves the Commonwealth

  8. One designated statewide Coalition in Virginia - since 1996 • 501c3 not-for-profit & James Madison University partnership • Supported by stakeholder members, DOE, DMME, and grants • Managing alt fuel deployment and education programs on behalf of governments, fleets, and other stakeholders Strategies: • Partner with States & Local Organizations, Public and Private fleets • Provide Outreach, Education, & Information Resources • Facilitate Infrastructure Development • Provide Technical & Financial Assistance Virginia Clean Cities Snapshot Platinum Level Sponsors & Strategic Partners

  9. Alternative Fuels: What’s Included ? • Technology Portfolio – Assistance of VA Clean Cities: • Alternative (non-petroleum) Fuels & Vehicles • Biodiesel, Ethanol, Hydrogen, Electric, Propane, Natural Gas • Advanced Vehicles (e.g., HEVs, PHEVs) • Vehicles and Driver Choices that Increase Fuel Economy • Idle Reduction • 2012 Green Fleet effort • 9.2 million gasoline gallon equivalent reduced • 70,000 tons of GHG reduction • Virginia’s Growing Alt Fuel Effort • 286 Alt Fuel Stations (+100 in ‘12) • 80 fleets with Alt Fuel Vehicles • 15,206 Alt Fuel Fleet Vehicles

  12. Biodiesel • Biodiesel – 4,620 vehicles, 36 stations in VA • Renewable fuel produced by processing vegetable and animal fats • Often blended with diesel at levels from 5% to 20% biodiesel • Works with practically any diesel engine, little/no modification • Three active producers in Virginia, made around 2 million gallons

  13. Ethanol and E85 • Ethanol - E85 – 7058 fleet vehicles, 22 stations (13 public) in VA • A renewable alcohol fuel, blended with gasoline • 10% ethanol can be used in most vehicles without modification • 15% blends OK for 2001 and up vehicles • E85 –85% blended with 15% gasoline • Compatible with 9 million Flex Fuel cars on the roads today • ½ of Ford and GM’s lineup

  14. LPG – Propane -Autogas • Propane – LPG - Autogas • LPG, 70 stations, 430 vehicles • Inexpensive Fuel ($2.21/gal) • Save $1 to $2 a gallon • Vehicles run on propane, tanks are higher capacity than your home grill, but same fuel • 85% of propane is domestic resource • Get autogas rate, not grill rate

  15. Natural Gas • Natural Gas, 1300 fleet vehicles, 17 stations in Virginia • Vehicle runs on compressed or liquid natural gas from pressurized tank • Fewer emissions, and 75% less nitrogen oxides • Local domestic fuel - $2.39 is recent public price in Richmond VA • Potential for landfill renewable gas projects (95% fewer emissions) • Bi-Monthly calls with state regional project reports - great interest • New stations (Richmond, Dulles, Norfolk, Chesapeake VA)

  16. Electric • Three groups of EVs: • Hybrid electric vehicles (HEVs) • Plug-in hybrid electric vehicles (PHEVs) • Battery-powered electric vehicles (BEVs) • All EVs utilize electric motors and energy storage systems • Each type offers different advantages • Battery life, charge time • Electricity production may still produce emissions • EV battery/tech price vs. conventional vehicle price
