Environmental Health Center Section 3: Alternatively Fueled Vehicles Today's teenagers are among the first generation that will have real choices about the kinds of fuel used in new cars. Domestic and import automakers have been developing a range of alternative-fuel vehicles, and those are expected to be available in showrooms over the coming years. By 1999, in California at least 500,000 clean-fuel cars will be available for sale each year. In addition, some companies and governments with fleets of cars are required to buy the new cleaner cars. The 1990 Clean Air Act Amendments (CAAA) require gasoline refiners to reformulate gasoline sold in the smoggiest areas. Reformulated gasoline reduces emissions of Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs) and contains less benzene than conventional gasoline. Some areas are required to provide oxyfuel (gas with more oxygen added decreases fuel economy) to burn more efficiently and reduce carbon monoxide. All fuels are required to contain detergents to reduce pollutants. The CAAA also encourages the development of alternative fuels, such as alcohols, liquefied petroleum gas (LPG), and natural gas, and requires automakers to build some cars that use cleaner fuels. 1.

AVAILABILITY OF ALTERNATIVE FUEL VEHICLES 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.

Text Only Alternative Fuel Vehicles Annual Report The Energy Policy Act of 1992 (EPAct) was signed into law after the Gulf War by George Bush Sr. It was designed to reduce America’s dependence on petroleum by diverting 10% of transportation fuel demand from petroleum by the year 2000, and 30% by 2010. 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.

As of June 2003, the city of Boulder is implementing a biodiesel pilot project . The analysis performed during the pilot project will enable staff to more fully evaluate the performance issues and costs in anticipation of an expanded use of biodiesel in 2004 for the city fleet. Assuming the city's evaluation is favorable, purchase of B20 fuel (20 percent biodiesel and 80 percent diesel fuel) for non-emergency vehicles will begin in 2004. The B20 fuel seems the best fuel blend to start with because it does not require any significant equipment modifications and performance doesn't appear to be impacted by cold weather (which can be an issue, particularly for 100 percent biodiesel, known as B100).

SERVICES News Community GT Staff Contact Us ... Help Energy Policy Act Requires Purchase of Light-Duty Alternative Fuel Vehicles The Energy Policy Act was passed in 1992 to accelerate the use of alternative fuels in the transportation sector. The U.S. Department of Energy's primary goals are to decrease the nation's dependence on foreign oil and increase energy security through the use of domestically produced alternative fuels. Federal, state and alternative fuel providers fleets are mandated by EPAct. Fleets that own, operate, lease or control at least 50 light-duty vehicles (8,500 lbs. or less) are covered. Of the fleet vehicles, 20 or more must be operated primarily within a metropolitan statistical area with a population of at least 250,000 people. The vehicles must also be centrally fueled or capable of being centrally fueled. Fleets meeting all three of these requirements must make a certain percentage of their new vehicle purchases alternative fuel vehicles. EPAct recognizes the following alternative fuels: methanol, ethanol and other alcohols; blends of 85 percent or more of alcohol with gasoline; natural gas and liquid fuels domestically produced from natural gas; biodiesel; liquefied petroleum gas (propane); coal-derived liquid fuels; hydrogen and electricity. As a result of EPAct, DOE established the Alternative Fuel Transportation Program. The AFTP includes public outreach and commercialization programs at DOE that relate to alternative motor fuels and alternative fuel vehicles. The following programs are part of AFTP.

Dual Fuel/Bi-fuel Bi-fuel vehicles have two tanks, one for gasoline and one for either natural gas or propane, depending on the vehicle. The vehicles can switch between the two fuels. Dual fuel vehicles use a combination of fuels simultaneously. Flex Fuel- Flex-fuel vehicles can be fueled with gasoline or, depending on the vehicle, with either methanol (M85) or ethanol (E85). The vehicles have one tank and can accept any mixture of gasoline and the alternative fuel. Gas-Electric Hybrids- Hybrid electric vehicles (HEVs) combine the internal combustion engine of a conventional vehicle with the battery and electric motor of an electric vehicle, resulting in twice the fuel economy of conventional vehicles. This combination offers the extended range and rapid refueling that consumers expect from a conventional vehicle, with a significant portion of the energy and environmental benefits of an electric vehicle. The practical benefits of HEVs include improved fuel economy and lower emissions compared to conventional vehicles. The inherent flexibility of HEVs will allow them to be used in a wide range of applications, from personal transportation to commercial hauling.

Governor Pataki has expressed his strong commitment to the use of clean fueled vehicles as part of the State's overall environmental conservation efforts. "The pursuit of clean air remains one of our greatest challenges. Last year, we gave New Yorkers the opportunity to buy the cleanest cars in the country... But we must not be complacent. We must set ambitious, long-term goals for the future. In 1995, New York State owned almost no clean-fueled vehicles. Today, almost 700 are on the road. This year, let's commit to ensuring that, by the end of this decade, every non-emergency vehicle purchased by State agencies roughly 1,500 each year are clean-fueled vehicles. This initiative will help attract more green businesses to New York, like the Baker-Ford partnership, which is creating 300 new jobs building electric vans, not in Michigan, but in the Mohawk Valley. We can make New York the national leader in clean air technology in this decade". Governor George E. Pataki
