Wisconsin State Energy Office (SEO)
The SEO’s Mission is to invest in Wisconsin by: • Increasing energy efficiency;• Developing renewable and alternative energy
sources;• Promoting energy-related economic
development & jobs; and• Reducing reliance on imported oil.
The SEO manages over $85 million in federal energy-related grants and loans
Dane County Landfill Bio-CNG Station
The SEO works with policy makers, businesses interested in energy opportunities, innovators,
public/private initiatives and federal agencies to implement cost‐effective, reliable, balanced and environmentally‐friendly clean energy projects.
• Wisconsin has no fossil fuel deposits• Wisconsin has one small oil refinery • Petroleum is Wisconsin’s largest energy expenditure

Fossil Fuel use in Transportation
• 2011 On-road diesel consumption: 736.7 million gallons
• 2011 On-road gasoline consumption: 2.5 billion gallons
• Cost WI consumers $11.8 billion for gasoline and diesel
• ~$1.3 million (~11%) stays in WI

Natural Gas
www.stateenergyoffice.wi.gov
Benefits and ConsiderationsEnergy Security• Plentiful in U.S.• Existing infrastructure (distribution)• US largest producer
Driving Range• Shorter than gasoline• Comparable power and speed
Public Health and Environment• Lower greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions• Lower particulate pollution• Lower carcinogens
Deployment• Proven and established• 120,000+ natural gas vehicles in U.S.

Energy Security
www.stateenergyoffice.wi.gov
• New technology has unlocked natural gas from shale; production has increased dramatically – 100 years
Compressed Natural Gas (CNG)
• Stored in onboard tanks under high pressure
• Fuel economy similar to gasoline• 1 GGE = 5.7 lb CNG
Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG)• Kept at cold temperatures• Stored in double-wall, vacuum-
insulated pressure vessels• Heavy-duty vehicles• 1 GGE = 1.5 gal LNG
Basics: CNG and LNG

Dedicated Natural Gas Vehicles (NGV)
• Run only on natural gas• Better performance• Lower emissions
Bi-fuel NGVs• Two fueling systems
o Natural gaso Gasoline
• Fueling flexibility
Dual-fuel NGVs• Run on diesel and natural gas• Heavy-duty vehicles only
Basics: Natural Gas Vehicles
Basics: Natural Gas Vehicles
Light-Duty NGVs• Suitable for light-duty needs in
private and government fleets• Honda Civic GX
Medium-Duty NGVs• Vans and shuttles• Airports and taxi fleets
Heavy-Duty NGVs• Refuse haulers• Transit buses• School buses• Long-haul trucks• Street sweepers• Snowplows• Short-haul delivery trucks
Fleet Applications
Natural Gas Vehicles for Americawww.ngvamerica.org
• High fuel use vehicles with return to base operations
• Repetitive route• Pre-set geographic operating areas• Fleet implementation will drive
consumer market as infrastructure becomes available
Best CNG Applications
www.stateenergyoffice.wi.gov
Time-Fill Fueling• Good for centrally-based fleets with consistent schedules• CNG is dispensed slowly, often overnight• Lower cost investment
Fast-Fill Fueling• Fueling takes place in minutes• Necessary for public-access stations• Good for vehicles with little downtime
Combo-Fill Fueling• Time-fill and fast-fill• More flexibility in fueling
CNG Fueling
www.stateenergyoffice.wi.gov
Wisconsin CNG Stations
• 26 public CNG stations throughout the state.
• 6 private CNG stations - 2 private biogas stations
• 1 public LNG stations• Anticipate 200-300 new
station within the next 5 yrs

Economics: WI Transportation
• Gasoline/Diesel Prices create uncertainty for fleets due to price volatility
• Current natural gas prices are dramatically lower than petroleum fuels • Recently extended
0.55 per gallon tax credit has also driven down prices

Wisconsin’s Role Natural Gas is an attractive energy source from an economic, energy security and environmental perspective
So why didn’t everyone get here on natural gas? • Domestic natural gas supplies have only increased
recently• Limited OEM and conversion options for vehicles• It will take some time to overcome the problem of
supply (retail infrastructure) and demand (vehicle availability) to meet the needs in the marketplace

NEW! Forwarding Wisconsin's Fuel Choice
$500,000 award from USDOE Clean Cities Grant Program
Program Team – SEO, Wisconsin Clean Cities and WI Technical College System
Goals to expand alternative fuels use by:- Expand accessibility to alternative fuels off
highways; - offer training for first responders, public safety
officers, and permitting officials; and - assist public fleets in developing and
implementing petroleum reduction strategies and policies.
Launch in Q1 2013www.stateenergyoffice.wi.gov
Wisconsin Clean Transportation
Program $300 million USDOE Clean Cities Grant Program 25 awards across the US, WI received largest
award $15 million awarded to WI 36 partners, 315 vehicles, 18 alternative fuel
locations Additional $17 million leveraged by public and
private fleets Goals:
• Reduction of Petroleum Use in Transportation• Cleaner Air Through Reduced Emissions• Acceptance of Alternative Fuels• Acceptance of Advanced Vehicle Technologywww.stateenergyoffice.wi.gov
