• What is Clean Cities• What has Clean Cities Accomplished• How does Clean Cities Work


Clean Cities

• Sponsored by the DOE’s Office of Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy's Vehicle Technologies program

• Provides a framework for businesses and governments to work together as a coalition to enhance markets

• Coordinate activities, identify mutual interests, develop regional economic opportunities, and improve air quality

Clean Cities’ Mission To advance the energy, economic, and environmental security of the U.S.

by supporting local decisions to adopt practices that contribute to the

reduction of petroleum consumption in the transportation sector.

Clean Cities Today

• 88 active coalitions in 45 states

• 775,000 AFVs using alternative fuels

• 10,000+ stakeholders

• 21:1 leveraging of Federal investment in 20101

AFVs Petroleum Displacement

Source: Clean Cities Metrics Report 2010

Number of AFVs and fuel displacement by fuel type


7

Displaced 2.4 Billion Gallons of Petroleum• Displaced $606 million gallons of gasoline in 2010• > 2.4 billion GGE displaced by coalitions since 1993• 15 million GGE in 1994• 580,000 new AFVs on the road• Over 6000 alternative fueling stations (CC helped build >70% of

them)

Bottom line: > 2 billion GGE displaced, best yet to comeNREL stock photo

Clean Cities Gets Results!


8

Created Alternative Fuel Corridors

• $35 million for infrastructure since 1998

• Biofuels I-65, OR, NY, PA, MD, VA, DC

• Other fuels, e.g., natural gas in CA, UT, NY

Bottom line: Generated alternative fuels and made them accessible

Turning Garbage into Gas• Deployed biomethane

technology from DOE R&D• Successful refuse truck

tests• Potential 300 landfills each

producing 20,000 gal/day LNG

National Clean Fleet Partnership

Charter Members:• AT&T• FedEx• PepsiCo• UPS• Verizon

http://www1.eere.energy.gov/cleancities/national_partnership.html


The National Clean Fleets Partnership will help large companies reduce diesel and gasoline use in their fleets through a public-private partnership that offers specialized resources, technical expertise, and support to help partner companies incorporate electric vehicles, alternative fuels, and fuel saving measures into their daily operations.

National Fleet Outreach

What is the National Clean Fleets Partnership?


• Coordinate with all coalitions via a single point of entry

• Unbiased, accurate technical and market resources• Expert help to create individual petroleum reduction

plans• Access to new and existing Clean Cities tools• Recognition at national and local level• Potential for group purchasing, aggregate vehicle

acquisition, and strategic infrastructure development

NCFP Benefits


• Pledge to reduce petroleum usage on an annual basis• Operate fleets in multiple states• Own or have control over 50% of their fleet• Have the ability to use alternative fuels or advanced vehicle

technologies• Have resources and support for a petroleum reduction strategy• Actively participate in at least one coalition
