OVERVIEW

• The overarching goal – reducing GHG emissions• Reducing GHG emissions/mile – i.e. improving fleet energy

efficiency• Reducing petroleum consumption• Using alternative fuel• Acquiring alternative fuel vehicles• FleetDASH

3

The Overarching Goal

E.O. 13693, Section 2 – Each agency must set its own target to reduce GHG emissions from its operations by FY2025, from FY2008 baseline

4

Improving Fleet Energy Efficiency

E.O. 13693, Section 3(g) -Reduce fleet-wide per-mile greenhouse gas emissions from agency fleet vehicles

Relative to a baseline of fleetwide emissions per mile in FY2014, achieve the following percentage reductions:

Fiscal Year E.O. 13693 Requirement2014 Baseline2015 2016 2%2017 4%2018 6.75%2019 9.5%2020 12.25%2021 15%2022 18.75%2023 22.5%2024 26.25%2025 30%

5

PETROLEUM REDUCTION REQUIREMENTS

• Reduce petroleum consumption by 20% in 2015 from 2005 baseline– EISA 2007, Section 142

Reducing Petroleum Consumption

6

Alternative fuel consumption requirements• Increase alternative fuel consumption by 10% between 2005 and

2015, and maintain thereafter– EISA 2007, Section 142

• Dual-fuel vehicles must operate on alternative fuel unless a vehicle receives a waiver from DOE

– EPAct 2005, section 701

• Covered Federal fleet fueling centers must install at least one renewable fuel pump (E85, B20 or greater, or electricity from renewable sources)

– EISA 2007, section 246

Using Alternative Fuel

7

WHAT IS ALTERNATIVE FUEL? • Biofuels (E85, biodiesel)• Natural gas• Electricity• Propane• Hydrogen• Others

Using Alternative Fuel

8

What are AFVs?• Dual-fuel vehicles (E85 flex-fuel vehicles, CNG bi-fuel vehicles)• Zero emission vehicles (Battery electric vehicles, Hydrogen fuel cell electric vehicles)• Plug-in hybrid electric vehicles• Hybrid electric vehicles

Acquiring Alternative Fuel Vehicles

• 100% of light-duty and medium-duty passenger vehicle acquisitions must be low greenhouse gas-emitting vehicles

• EISA 2007, section 141

• 75% of covered light-duty vehicle acquisitions must be AFVs• EPAct 1992, section 303

• Incorporate zero emission and plug-in hybrid electric vehicles into passengervehicle acquisitions

• E.O. 13693, section 3(g)Acquisition Targets: 20% by 202050% by 2025

FleetDASH Overview

Monitor complianceAccountability & TransparencyCredit card transaction data tracks fleet fuel useIdentify successes as well as “missed opportunities”Bottom Line:

– E85 use in existing FFVs provides an opportunity for significant reductions in GHG emissions per mile

– Max. potential E85 consumption for FleetDASH users: 1.9 million additional GGE per month – quadruple E85 use 8% further reduction in Petroleum use

15

What are Missed Opportunities?

FFV Purchased 17.15 gal. of Gasoline on 6/1/11 at:

Shell Service Station3430 Northgate Blvd

Sacramento, CA 95834

AFDC Icon

FFV could have purchased 17.15 gal. of E85 1 mi away:

Truxel Road Shell3721 Truxel Rd

Sacramento, CA 95834(station is public, accepts

WEX)

FFV purchases gasoline where public E85 station is within 5 mi.

Why don’t Feds use more Alternative Fuel?

FEMP/NREL research show that… Federal fleet vehicle operators lack:

1. Awareness & Training2. Feedback & Accountability3. Transparency 4. Info on Availability of Alternative Fuel5. Access to real-time performance data

Why don’t Feds use more Alternative Fuel?

Market forces impact fuel use & the deployment of newer technologies:1. E85 remains our current low-cost, immediate opportunity, but

a) Infrastructure is concentrated in Midwest and other small pocketsb) Conflicting reports on status of Ethanol/FFV market are problematic.

2. HEV, PHEV, EV, and CNG vehicle deployment for Feds hampered by a) Limited vehicle availabilityb) High incremental costs, expensive lease rates, lack of fundingc) Infrastructure availability and costs (esp. Natural Gas)d) Very long or non-existent ROI timeframes

Not all FFV’s have access to E85: Max = 11% of total fuel use.
