This document summarizes transportation fuel use and alternative fuel development efforts in Wisconsin. It notes that Wisconsin consumers spent $11.8 billion on gasoline and diesel in 2013, with over 2.47 billion gallons of gasoline and 726 million gallons of diesel used. The document outlines Wisconsin's portfolio of alternative fuels including ethanol, biodiesel, natural gas, propane, and electric vehicles. It provides data on the number of alternative fueling stations in the state and describes state programs that aim to expand alternative fuel accessibility and reduce petroleum use through partnerships with local groups. The document concludes by emphasizing the need for continued development partnerships, addressing technology limitations, and supportive public policy to advance alternative fuel efforts in Wisconsin.

Technical College System
Goals to expand alternative fuels use by:
- Expand accessibility to alternative fuels off highways;
- offer training for first responders, public safety officers,
and permitting officials; and
- assist public fleets in developing and implementing
petroleum reduction strategies and policies.
10. Biofuels Programs
BRAIN (Biofuels Retail Availability Improvement Network(BRAIN)
– ($1 million)
• For fuel retailers capable of locating the E85 or biodiesel refueling
outlets available to consumers
• Funding for fuel terminals to install biodiesel blending equipment
• Supported installation of two biodiesel blending terminals, five
biodiesel stations and 10 E85 stations
11. Governor directed stakeholder initiative
organized by the SEO andWI Clean Cities
to promote the use of CNG, LNG and
Biogas as transportation fuels inWI
Natural Gas ForTransportation
Continue to cover issues such as policy, maintenance,
conversions, infrastructure development, vehicle
deployment, trends
12. Continued Growth in WI
Develop Partnerships
- smoother transition to new technologies with wider knowledge base
- wider acceptance of advanced vehicle technologies and clean fuels
- Ability to secure funding
Address availability and limitations of technology
– both infrastructure and vehicles
Sound public policy to support development
efforts
SEO will continue to develop programs to
support alternative fuels efforts
