Book Description
Reports on the infrastructure needed (in Cal.) to support alternative fuel vehicles, and vehicles powered by reformulated gasoline. Provides recommendations for facilitating its deployment. Fuels included are: electricity, RFG, methanol, ethanol, natural gas, liquefied petroleum gas and hydrogen. Focuses on the following infrastructure issues: fuel supply, fueling and charging sites, customer service and education, quick charging, and much more. Charts and tables.

Book Description
Report discusses the dilemma of incorporating consistent, convenient, universal card access (or ''pay-at-the-pump'') systems into alternative fueling stations across the country. The state of California continues to be in the forefront of implementing alternative fuels for transportation applications. Aggressive efforts to deploy alternative fuel vehicles (AFVs) in California have highlighted the need to provide adequate fueling stations and develop appropriate, user-friendly means to purchase fuel at the pump. Since these fuels are not typically provided by petroleum companies at conventional fueling stations, and acceptance of cash is often not an option, a payment method must be developed that is consistent with the way individual AFV operators are accustomed to purchasing automotive fuels--with a credit card. At the same time, large fleets like the California Department of General Services must be able to use a single fuel card that offers comprehensive fleet management services. The Gas Technology Institute's Infrastructure Working Group (IWG) and its stakeholders have identified the lack of a common card reader system as a hurdle to wider deployment of AFVs in California and the United States. In conjunction with the U.S. Department of Energy's (DOE) National Clean Cities Program, the IWG has outlined a multi-phased strategy to systematically address the barriers to develop a more ''open'' architecture that's similar to the way gasoline and diesel are currently dispensed. Under the auspices of the IWG, survey results were gathered (circa 1999) from certain fuel providers, as a means to more carefully study card reader issues and their potential solutions. Pilot programs featuring card reader systems capable of accepting wider payment options have been attempted in several regions of the United States with mixed success. In early 2001, DOE joined the National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL), the California Energy Commission (CEC) and the South Coast Air Quality Management District (SCAQMD) in a renewed effort to further develop a universal card reader access program. The immediate focus is on natural gas fueling stations--primarily compressed natural gas (CNG) in California. However, the ultimate intention is to apply the resulting advancements in open architecture card reader systems in stations dispensing other types of alternative transportation fuels across the United States.

Book Description
The goal of this project is to provide transportation agencies who operate heavy-duty fleets in support of winter highway maintenance with research on fleet electrification and alternative fuel options. Research will cover the challenges of transitioning to a green fleet including engine and component power,torque, and durability, infrastructure and staffing support, energy resources and availability, and operating conditions. The project team compiled a current profile of the winter operations fleet and conducted interviews with the 13 DOTs who agreed to participate in the study. These organizations shared their limited experience with alternative fuel vehicles (AFVs). Due to negligible use of AFVs, interviews focused on best practice areas that will support the future use of alternative fuels. Barriers to AFV adoption and the conditions for a successful transition were also explored. Significant fuel shifts in society are rare but lessons from the shift to diesel, propane and natural gas were reviewed to determine their relevance for the future shift to electricity. The importance of infrastructure in successful fuel transitions was recognized. The project team also looked outside the participating DOTs to other levels of government experimenting with AFVs. From these interviews additional information on biodiesel and renewable options were recorded and compared. Finally, the team interviewed vehicle and fuel system manufacturers to learn about existing and emerging AFV and fueling options. The research, findings and recommendations are summarized in a synthesis report.
