Infrastructure Development Strategies

National Renewable Energy Laboratory Innovation for Our Energy Future

1. Know Your FleetInventory your fleet and estimate fuel demand by location

2. Locate and Use existing Alt. Fuel StationsAFDC Tools – station locator and mobile locator

Concentrate on fleet locations with most vehicles first

3. Locate Nearby Fleets Lacking Alt. Fuel AccessUtilize available Section 701 waiver data; aggregate demand

4. Partner with Clean CitiesFoster’s networking with other fleets to aggregate demand, attract development

5. Attract New Public Refueling StationsIdentify stations with existing interest in providing Alt. Fuel

Determine how much Alt. Fuel your and partner fleets will require

Identify fuel providers and infrastructure developers operating in your area
