  1. St. Louis Regional Clean Cities Presenter Kevin Herdler kevin@stlcleancities.org 2013 State Fleet Managers’ Workshop Clean Cities Program St. Louis

  2. 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

  3. STL Clean Cities Accomplishments • 2005-2009 - ranked 16th for most fuel displaced • 10 million gallons petroleum displaced in 2012 • Emissions reduction - over 105,000 tons in 2012

  4. What’s happening in St. Louis American Fuels • The biodiesel industry continues to work toward making biodiesel pumps available at public stations. There are a few outside the area, but none in the city yet; have numerous private facilities. • Electric – There are 20 level two stations in the area, and there are future plans for installing 7 to 10 DC fast chargers with Nissan and ECOtality; locations to be determined. • Ethanol (E85) has shown consistent growth. On average, four stations come on board annually. • Natural gas (CNG) – There is one public station in Shrewsbury, one being built at the airport, and three more in negotiations. • Propane (Autogas) – There is one station at Mid Rivers.

  5. Success Stories • Lambert International Airport – has 140 CNG vehicles, 400+ Biodiesel (B-20) vehicles. Using 400,000 GGE of CNG and 20,000 gallons of B-100 saves over $1,000,000 in fuel costs annually. • Fort Zumwalt School District - 38 Propane buses this year - $1.30 GGE. • Parkway School District - 30 CNG buses coming. • Ameren Missouri – uses 20,000 gallons of B-100 annually, and has 8 electric vehicles, 11 level two chargers, and four hybrid bucket trucks.

  6. Success Stories • Republic (Allied Waste) has 72 CNG waste haulers on the road today, and is projected to have 200 in three years. • Propane mowers have become very popular and are one of the hottest sellers right now! With the PERC and MOPERC incentives, you can buy these mowers for less than their gas-powered counterparts. Mowing companies love them! - what was a 500 hour oil change frequency is now at 1500 hours; and gasoline is not walking away everyday - companies figure 20 to 25% of their gas ends up in employees’ cars. • Electric - Tesla has opened a service center. There are now 80 registered Teslas in St. Louis. St. Louis ranks 21st in the country for Leaf sales.

  7. Hottest fuels • CNG/LNG is leading the pack for “most inquired about” alternative fuel. • A $30,000 station credit and a $.50 GGE credit is available for propane and CNG. • Propane mower incentives - MOPERC offers $750 to convert mowers, or 15% toward new mower purchases; plus $1,000 is available from PERC. • Missouri recently introduced a bill, but it was vetoed.
