Frequently Asked QuestionsWhat is Clean Cities?Clean Cities is a Department of Energy sponsored program designed to reduce our nation’s petroleum consumption by advancing the use of alternative fuels and vehicles. Clean Cities has expanded to include fuel blends, hybrids, fuel economy and idle reduction. What are alternative fuels and what are the benefits?Alternatives to gasoline and diesel include Compressed Natural Gas (CNG), Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG), Ethanol (E85), Methanol, Hydrogen, Battery-Electric power, Biodiesel, and Liquefied Petroleum Gas (LPG or Propane). In addition to reducing our nation’s dependence on imported petroleum and improving energy security, alternative fuels are less polluting. Other technologies such as Hybrid Electric (HEV) and Plug-in Hybrid Electric (PHEV) vehicles are encouraged but not recognized as alternative fuels. How does Clean Cities work?Clean Cities mobilizes local stakeholders in government and industry. In approximately 90 coalitions nationwide, Clean Cities draws local stakeholders from the public and private sectors. Clean Cities coalitions provide a forum for members to leverage their resources, develop joint projects, collaborate on public policy issues, and promote Alternative Fueled Vehicles (AFV’s) in their communities. |
