The document summarizes a presentation given by Jonathan Overly of ETCleanFuels about reducing oil dependence and diesel emissions. It provides examples of Clean Cities projects in the Southeast including propane school buses in Mobile County, a landfill gas project and CNG fueling stations in Atlanta, and natural gas trucks. It also discusses upcoming technologies and fuels that Clean Cities is promoting such as renewable diesel, terminal truck stop electrification, and electric terminal trucks. The presentation highlights the impact Clean Cities has had in reducing petroleum usage and outlines ETCleanFuels' role in helping fleets save money while cutting emissions.

What is Clean Cities?
Clean Cities advances the
nation's economic,
environmental, and energy
security by supporting local
actions to reduce petroleum
consumption in
transportation. A national
network of nearly 90 Clean
Cities coalitions
bring together stakeholders in
the public and private sectors
to deploy alternative and
renewable fuels, idle‐
reduction measures, fuel
economy improvements, and
emerging transportation
technologies.

1/3 – Southeastern Project Examples:
Propane School Buses
 Propane school buses are a natural
fit; removes headaches
 Almost 10,000 propane school
buses on U.S. roads today, over
9,000 of those are BB/ROUSH
 MANY school districts are seeing
the MANY advantages of propane
 Right propane price equals great
ROI
Mobile County Public School System – Started with 30 propane school buses in 2014

2/3 – Southeastern Project Examples:
DeKalb County/Metro. ATL AF and Adv. Tech. Project
The region gained:
 a landfill gas conversion facility to produce renewable energy at a DeKalb
County landfill,
 five publicly accessible Compressed Natural Gas (CNG) fueling stations, &
 one upgraded CNG station to accommodate additional CNG fueling
capacity.
More than 200 alternative fuel and
advanced technology vehicles have also
been deployed by Metro Atlanta‐based
companies, as well as city and county
governments.

3/3 – Southeastern Project Examples:
NG in Class 8
 CNG growing w/ cost savings, incentives &
partnerships
 Large car manufacturers looking for cost and
environmental impact reductions
SADI – Southeast AFV Demo Initiative ‐
Showcasing propane + CNG
vehicles in NC, SC and TN;
Mainstay class 8 in project

1/3 – What’s coming?
Renewable Diesel
 Three main producers in the World: Neste, REGI, Diamond Green (Valero)
 A true drop‐in fuel – no changes or cleaning to systems
 West Coast experience is it relieves many aftertreament problems
Fleets adopting renew. diesel:
 CA: Sacramento & Contra
Costa Counties, Carlsbad
 OR: Corvalis, Eugene Water
& Electric Board
 NYC: Starting test

2/3 – What’s coming?
Terminal Truck Stop Electrification (TSE)
 TSE has been mostly focused on
truck stops over the past decade
plus, but is seeing growth in
trucking company terminals
 Offers less‐costly option, quiet
sleep and power/amenities
 Covenant Trucking – Completed
installation of 20 units last year
thanks to U.S. EPA Region 4 grant,
and usage is growing!

3/3 – What’s coming?
Electric Terminal Trucks
 100% electric Class 8 EVs for container handling operations
 Both new and remanufactured options
Capital intensive, but…
zero tailpipe emissions,
Significantly reduced noise in an
Already noisy area, and
ROI proven in CA fleets.
