• What is Clean Cities• What has Clean Cities Accomplished• How does Clean Cities Work
cleancities.energy.gov
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.

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

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

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?
cleancities.energy.gov
• 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
cleancities.energy.gov
