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

State Programs to

Support Advances in

Transportation Fuels and

Vehicles

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 2013

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 Technology

State Energy Program CNG Infrastructure Challenge ($1.1 million)

• 7 awards for 9 new CNG (pipeline and biogas) refueling sites

Marine Applications of Renewable Energy/Fuels ($75,000)• 1 award to the Lake Michigan Carferry Service,

Inc. for a feasibility study Hydrogen Fuel use in Municipal Fleets

($75,000)• 1 award to the City of Beloit for a feasibility

and demonstration project Electric Vehicle implementation for State

Fleet ($120,000)• 5 awards to state agencies to purchase 6

electric vehicles

Biofuels Programs BRAIN (Biofuels Retail Availability Improvement

Network(BRAIN) – ($1 million)• For fuel retailers capable of locating the E85 or

biodiesel refueling outlets available to consumers• Funding for fuel terminals to install biodiesel blending

equipment • Exploring a scope change to support biogas

transportation projects• Supported installation of 2 biodiesel stations and 10

E85 stations• Applications due 12/15/12

Biodiesel Blending Program ($600,000) • For bulk fuel terminal facilities interested in

increasing biodiesel blending capabilities• 2 projects selected in Milwaukee at Granville and

Port Terminals – Complete by end of 2012

Governor directed stakeholder initiative organized by the SEO and WI Clean Cities to promote the use of CNG, LNG and Biogas as transportation fuels in WI

Natural Gas For Transportation

Roundtable

Launched in April 2012, 3 major events held with 125 participants at each event

Cover issues such as policy, maintenance, conversions, infrastructure development, vehicle deployment, trends

Next meeting January 29, 2013 at Kalahari Resort in WI Dells

Continued Growth in WI

Develop Partnerships - smoother transition to new technologies with wider knowledge base- wider acceptance of advanced vehicle technologies and clean fuels- Ability to secure funding

Address availability and limitations of technology – both infrastructure and vehicles

Sound public policy to support development efforts

SEO will continue to develop programs to support alternative fuels efforts
