The program promotes the use of alternative fuels and advanced technology vehicles (AFV) to expand the market for alternative fuels, create job opportunities, improve air quality, and to reduce dependence on foreign sources of energy. During 2018, ACFC and its members worked primarily with state and local governments to provide them with information on the benefits of AFVs and to identify and implement AFV uses and alternative fuel infrastructure projects. The use of alternative fuels increased significantly in Alabama in 2018 and provided a reduction in the use of petroleum of more than 12.5 million gallons of gasoline gallon equivalent (GGE) and 62,488 tons of greenhouse gas emissions. This effort was lead primarily by state and local governments with assistance from the ACFC. During 2017, alternative fuels (E85 Ethanol, B20 Biodiesel, and Propane) continued to be included on the state fuel contract. In addition to being available to state agencies, these alternative fuels can be purchased by local governments on the state contract from approved vendors in all 67 counties in Alabama. Use of alternative fuels in the fleets of government agencies in Alabama continued to expand in 2017: the Alabama Department of Transportation used 104,201 gallons of B20 Biodiesel and 171,399 gallons of E85 Ethanol; the Alabama Department of Corrections used 29,993 gallons of Propane; the Alabama State Docks used 2,495 gallons of Propane; the Alabama State Motor Pool used 54,422 gallons of E85 Ethanol; the Marshall Space Flight Center used 39,968 gallons of E85 Ethanol; the City of Birmingham used 159,884 gallons of E85 Ethanol and 192 gallons of Propane; City of Birmingham Schools used 1,112 gallons of Propane; the Birmingham-Jefferson County Transit Authority (BJCTA) used 1,155,304 GGE of CNG; the ACFC developed public access CNG station at the BJCTA facility dispensed 347,223 GGE of CNG to the general public; the City of Mobile used 388 gallons of Propane and the Mobile County Schools used 254,058 gallons of Propane; the Lee County Sheriff's Office used 26,285 gallons of Propane; the Town of Gordo used 73,778 GGE of CNG; the City of Athens used 65,072 GGE of CNG; the City of Tuscaloosa used 17,241 gallons of Propane; Tuscaloosa Transit used 19,431 gallons of Propane; Tuscaloosa City Schools used 450,759 gallons of Propane; Lawson State Community College used 2,965 GGE of CNG; the University of Alabama at Birmingham, Auburn University, and the City of Montgomery operated electric vehicles in their fleet which reduced 35,644 GGE of petroleum; and waste vegetable oil to biodiesel initiatives continued at the City of Alabaster, the Alabama Institute for the Deaf and Blind and Alabama A&M University, where these programs produced more than 3,117 gallons of B100 Biodiesel. ACFC programs and activities laid the foundation for additional alternative fuel infrastructure projects increased the availability of cleaner burning fuels to the public in Alabama during calendar year 2018 and beyond. Increasing availability of these fuels will improve air quality. In addition, other potential projects were identified for future funding and/or technical assistance. These ACFC programs and activities serve to lessen the burdens of government. These ACFC activities also further a charitable purpose by improving the environment, which promotes social welfare.
