E85 (& B20) Stations – Nearby and Not-so-nearby Outreach & Education Work Leading the Way with Cellulosic Ethanol – UTBI & Genera
Energy
3. The EV Project – Particulars and the Need-to-know4. More EV + Solar Work

TN E85 & B20 Stations – We Help E85 stations – 33 public stations B20 stations – 32 public stations (most public B20 in U.S.)
Most stations thanks to state funding, ETCleanFuels work, or stations alone.

State (through TDOT) offers highway incentive program:If station will place “E85” (or “B20”) on their sign, TDOT will erect blue “biofuel” sign… on all 4 exit signs
Getting smart – Let ‘em Know

(Not policy, but partnership + progress)
I-75 Green Corridor Project
Add 10 E85 & 15 B20 public pumps @ 200 mile intervals
Enable driving all the way from Sault Ste. Marie, MI to Miami, FL on your biofuel
1,786 miles – will be the longest biofuels corridor in U.S.
Displace 1.7+ MGY of petroleum Proposed I-40 last year… didn’t
win

Tennessee Switchgrass Experience• Contracting with local farmers to produce 6,000
acres of switchgrass– Nearly 3,000 acres harvested in 2009– Added >3,000 acres in 2010– 1,000 acres improved varieties
• UT/Genera contract with local farmers– ~$450/ac/yr for 3 years– We provide seed, technical expertise– Separate storage contracts– Yield-based component in 2010
• Averaging about 8 tons/ac by 3rd year– Harvesting ~2 tons in year 1– ~5 tons in year 2– ~8 tons year 3 and beyond

The “EV Project” – What’s Coming to TN 1,000 Residential Charging Stations (Level 2 – 220V)
• Installed at “home” of each LEAF purchased 1,200 Commercial Chargers (Mostly Level 2; 60 “DC Fast Chargers”)
• Installed at strategic business parking lots 150 Public Chargers
• For public use at municipally-owned locations (airports, parking garages) 1,000 LEAFs
• Private Drivers• Commercial/
Municipal Fleets

The “EV Project” – Solar Charging
Unique in project to Tennessee!
TVA SMART Station – “Smart Modal Area Recharge Terminal”
125 total in TN Level 2 charging Specific locations
(ORNL, EPRI, others) Storage = solar-
powered!!
20
Providing 50 electrified spaces for class 8 tractor-trailers
Reducing emissions by 70-99% Adding solar!!
• Roof-top• 30-40 kW system• Will offset much of the initial
TSE usage to zero pollution!!
Intent – work on more transportation projects that are EV that include solar!
Crossville TSE Project – Solar, too
