Southeast Propane Autogas Development ProgramThe Southeast Propane Autogas Development Program is a large-scale alternative fuel project aimed at building propane infrastructure in the Southeast United States and encouraging public and private fleets to adopt propane. The program converted 1,189 vehicles from conventional gasoline to run on propane, and opened 11 propane Autogas refueling stations in 10 southeastern states. This resulted in millions of gallons of petroleum displacement. In addition, a wide-ranging communications campaign was launched to increase awareness and usage of propane in the Southeast.

Chicago Area Alternative Fuels Deployment ProjectThe Chicago Area Alternative Fuels Deployment Project deployed alternative fuel and hybrid vehicles and installed alternative fuel fueling and electric vehicle charging stations throughout the Chicago region. The project included a wide variety of project partners (large and small private companies, municipalities, non-profits, and utilities) and alternative fuels/advanced vehicle technologies (electric vehicles, compressed natural gas, propane, E-85, and hybrid technologies). By embracing all types of partners and fuels, these ambitious projects were able to build sustainable clean vehicle programs that optimized petroleum displacement and environmental benefits. Chicago’s transportation landscape was transformed by the addition of green vehicles and fueling stations that helped promote energy security, reduce transportation costs, and improve air quality. In total, the project deployed more than 400 clean vehicles and 225 alternative fueling stations. Learn more about the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act Project Awards.

Development of a National Liquid Propane (Autogas) Refueling Network, Clean School Bus/Vehicle Incentive, and Green Jobs Outreach ProgramThe project involved the installation of liquid propane (Autogas) refueling infrastructure in U.S. metropolitan areas. The project also supported the purchase of new and retrofitted LPG buses, vans, and trucks. Finally, the project provided an innovative outreach program designed specifically for veterans and out of work or at risk service technicians to provide training to work in the alternative fuels industry. The program concluded with 85 operational refueling sites, 684 LPG vehicles, and many successful training sessions. Learn more about the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act Project Awards. |

No One Silver Bullet, But a Lot of Silver BeebeesThe Indiana Office of Energy Development (OED) and the Greater Indiana Clean Cities Coalition (GICC) partnered with nine public- and private-sector organizations to implement a comprehensive alternative fuel plan that sought to displace over one million gallons of petroleum per year. The project also sought to assist with the creation and retention of Hoosier jobs and to grow Indiana’s alternative fuels market. The project focused on fuel neutrality—implementing the right fuel into the right fleet—based on fleet function, budgetary needs, and desired results. The alternative fuels funded include propane, compressed natural gas, E85, and hybrid vehicles. Major activities included funding 19 CNG vehicles, 250 propane vehicles, 87 hybrid vehicles, 4 CNG stations, and 3 E85 stations.

Wisconsin Clean Transportation ProgramThe Wisconsin Clean Transportation Program (WCTP) was a four-year initiative aimed to significantly reduce petroleum consumption and emissions in Wisconsin by increasing the use of alternative fuel or advanced technology vehicles and the installation of supporting infrastructure. The WCTP also aimed to maximize the preservation and creation of jobs by investing in the technology and training necessary to continue to develop a strong alternative fuels industry. The project deployed 177 light-duty vehicles, 200 medium- and heavy-duty vehicles, and installed 3 publicly accessible and 19 private alternative fuel stations.
