Extractions: Home Community Development Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy State Energy Program ... Announcements and Notices Search: According to the U.S. Department of Energy, transportation accounts for 65 percent of oil consumption in the United States and is the main source of air pollution. Oil is a rapidly depleting fossil fuel resource, and countries like China and India with expanding economies are competing with the U.S. for more of a share of imported oil. That, plus the instability in oil-rich Middle Eastern countries underscores the importance of transportation programs. There are several state and federal initiatives underway to make better use of home-grown resources for transportation fuel, to improve the efficiency of transportation vehicles, and to explore alternatives to the gasoline-fueled internal combustion engine. The ND Dept. of Commerce/Division of Community Services energy office has been and will continue to be involved with a number of transportation/alternative fuel vehicle programs and activities.

http://www.consumerenergycenter.org/transportation/afv/ethanol.html

Extractions: Alcohol has been used as a transportation fuel ever since Henry Ford used ethyl alcohol to run his Model T. Two types of alcohol are used: methyl alcohol (methanol) and ethyl alcohol (ethanol). These similar liquid fuels are different in chemical composition, but both can be used in alternative fuel vehicles. Ethanol, ethyl alcohol or grain alcohol (CH CH OH), is a liquid made from corn or other grains, other agricultural products or even biomass waste typically anything that contains carbon. Ethanol can be used as a high-octane fuel in vehicles. More than four million cars run on the fuel in Brazil as a result of a government program to make ethanol from sugar cane. The number of vehicles using ethanol is increasing in the United States. Ethanol's history as a transportation fuel goes back many years to Henry Ford and other transportation pioneers. In the 1880s, Ford built one of his first automobiles - the quadricycle - and fueled it on ethanol. Early Ford Model Ts had a carburetor adjustment that could allow the vehicle to run on this fuel, which would be produced by America's farmers. Ford's vision was reportedly to build a vehicle that was affordable to the working family and powered by a fuel that would boost the rural farm economy. Recently, because of support from corn-growing states and the U.S. Departments of Energy and Agriculture, ethanol fuel and vehicles that it are increasing. Auto manufacturers began producing flexible fuel cars and pickup trucks that could use ethanol or gasoline, beginning with the 1997 model year. Currently, there are no "after-market" kits that can be used to "convert" a regular gasoline vehicle to run on alcohol fuels.

It is now easy to go across the country in our own vehicles at a rate literally unheard of 100 years ago. However, using petroleum for transportation is not without environmental costs. When petroleum is burned, carbon monoxide (CO), carbon dioxide (CO ), nitrogen oxides (NOx), sulfur oxides (SOx), volatile organic compounds (VOCs,) also known as reactive hydrocarbons), hydroxyl ions (OH ), and particulate matter (PM) are emitted. Additionally, NOx and reactive hydrocarbons form low level ozone (O

Customized Training Issue Brief by the National Association of Convenience Stores Background: Congress enacted the energy Policy Act of 1992 (EPAct) to decrease the nation's reliance on imported sources of energy and to promote energy conservation and the development of alternative sources of energy. Title V of EPAct imposes several different mandatees on state and local governments, private fleet operators, and alternative fuel providers to purchase alternative fuel vehicles. Starting in Model Year 1996, alternative fuel providers and state governments are required to assure that 30 percent of the new vehicles aquired for their light duty vehicle fleets are alternatively fueled. This mandate increases each year until the fleet is converted to alternative fuels. Private fleets of light duty vehicles are to be subject to a similar mandate beginning in Model Year 2002. Alternative fuel vehicles are those that run on fuels that are not derived primarily from petroleum. Status: In March 1996, the Department of Energy (DOE) issued a final rule to implement the alternative fuel vehicle (AFV) acquisition mandates for covered state light duty motor vehicle fleets of "alternative fuel providers." Covered fleets must, under the final rule, include in their annual purchases of new light duty motor vehicles for their fleets an increasing percentage of AFVs starting in Model Year 1997 (September 1, 1996 - August 31, 1997).

Extractions: Description of Alternative Fuels/Vehicles Eligible for CAFE Credit Ethanol : Ethanol (C H OH) is a liquid alcohol fuel (sometimes referred to as grain alcohol) currently made from corn. Like methanol, ethanol can be used to make a gasoline additive (ETBE), and is used in an 85 percent blend with gasoline to power flexible-fuel vehicles. Currently, the primary use of ethanol is as a gasoline blending component in gasohol, reformulated gas, and in wintertime oxygenated fuels. Changes to ethanol flexible-fuel vehicles relative to gasoline vehicles consist mostly of a sensor which will detect the type of fuel being pumped to the engine, and sets of engine maps to ensure that the vehicle operates on ethanol in a manner consistent with its operation on gasoline. Additionally, since higher flow-rate fuel injectors are used to accommodate the lower energy density of ethanol relative to gasoline, software changes relative to injector control (injector duration, etc.) may be necessary to ensure proper operation of the fuel injection system. Ethanol is corrosive to some metals, although less so than methanol. Metals recommended for use with ethanol include carbon steel, stainless steel, and aluminum (if suitably protected from corrosion). Ethanol is less prone to attack elastomeric materials, so many common elastomers can be used with ethanol without risk of deterioration. No special manufacturing techniques are needed for ethanol fuel systems for flexible-fuel vehicles.

Extractions: For purposes of this section, refers to fuels that are used in place of gasoline and diesel fuel made from petroleum. In the context of this plan, alternative fuels include the following: biodiesel, electricity, ethanol, hydrogen, methanol, natural gas, propane, p-series, and solar energy ( as defined by the U.S. Department of Energy More detailed descriptions of these fuels can be found here. Increasing the share of alternatively fueled vehicles (AFVs) in the community contributes to the TMP objective of continuously reducing air pollutant emissions from mobile sources. AFVs produce fewer air pollutants and greenhouse gases and generally have improved fuel economy, which supports environmental sustainability. For the three distinct vehicle fleets, strategies are: City Fleet The city actively acquires AFVs, which currently makes up eight (8) percent of the city fleet. The city intends to replace 60 percent of light duty vehicles with alternative fuel or hybrid vehicles. Ultimately, the challenge would be to replace all vehicles with alternative fuel or hybrid vehicles. Currently, AFVs make up a small percent of the transit fleet. The city will work with Special Transit and RTD in vehicle selections and specification development (i.e., influence standard vehicle specifications) to pursue AFVs. Special Transit intends to pilot AFVs, and based on that experience, the city and its partners will develop an appropriate target for AFVs in the public fleet.

The EPAct required federal agencies with fleets in large cities to buy increasing numbers of alternative fuel vehicles, beginning with 25% of new cars acquired in 1996 and rising to 75% of new acquisitions in 1999 and thereafter. Covered Federal Agencies, under this act, are required to prepare annual reports to Congress and make available to the public via the Internet; and an announcement of availability in the Federal Register. Executive Order 13149, Greening the Government Through Federal Fleet and Transportation Efficiency , directs Federal agencies operating a fleet of 20 or more vehicles within the United States to reduce their annual petroleum consumption by at least 20% by the end of FY 2005 (compared to FY 1999 levels) by using alternative fuels in AFVs more than 50 % of the time, improving the average fuel economy of new light-duty petroleum-fueled vehicle acquisitions by 1 mpg by FY 2002 and 3 mpg by FY 2005, and using other fleet efficiency measures.

Alternative fuel vehicles (AFVs) can be passenger cars or trucks (light-duty vehicles), heavy-duty trucks, or buses that have been designed or modified to operate on alternative fuels. Only 13% market penetration for AFVs in the year 2010 could save 3.5 quads of energy by that year. This equals about 15% of the total energy used by the transportation sector or the total amount of energy used by Illinois. Widespread AFV use will reduce atmospheric pollutants, stimulate job creation, and strengthen domestic energy security. Federal tests showed that AFVs compare favorably to conventional vehicles in terms of fuel economy and generally produce fewer harmful emissions than gasoline counterparts. About 275,000 AFVs were running on American roads at the end of 1993; these are nearly all federal or private fleet vehicles. Most AFVs are powered by liquefied petroleum gas, followed by compressed natural gas, and next, by a blend of 85% gasoline and 15% methanol, also known as M85. Through the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE), the federal government is leading the drive to increase the number of AFVs on road.
