DOE's new alt-fuel site offers lots of goodies, ways to save money
Filed under: Biodiesel, Ethanol, EV/Plug-in, Legislation and Policy, Natural Gas, USA
Burn some time, save some fuel.
That's the synopsis of the U.S. Department of Energy's (DOE) National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL) website redesign, which is geared towards fleet managers and other high-volume, high-mileage drivers.
The new site gives the lowdown on five alternatives to gasoline - biodiesel, electricity, ethanol, natural gas and propane - and how much money they could save a company. For instance, the DOE has put together a bunch of "what if" scenarios, such as replacing gas-powered vehicles with plug-in hybrids or converting trucks to run on natural gas.
High on the fun meter (if you're into that sort of thing) is the Alternative Fueling Station Locator, which makes it easier for drivers and fleet managers to find stations that offer electric vehicle charging, E85, biodiesel, natural gas, propane or hydrogen A little lower on the fun scale are the sections outlining federal and state laws and incentives for various alt-fuel vehicles. Important? Yes. Fun? Well...
Check out the NREL press release below.Continue reading DOE's new alt-fuel site offers lots of goodies, ways to save money
