Outline

Environmental Education- why do we care?

Energy Consumption

  • Clean Cities & the Coalition
  • Alternative Fuels
  • Curriculum Activities
  • Increase public awareness and knowledge about environmental issues
  • Enhance critical-thinking, problem-solving and decision-making skills
  • Provide the public with the skills needed to make informed decisions

Benefits of replacing, reducing, eliminating

  • In 2013, the United States consumed a total of 134.5 billion gallons of petroleum products
  • We imported about 40% of the petroleum consumed in 2012

IMPROVE SLIDE

Pursuing alternative fuels, supports our economy and energy security.

  • Improve access to clean air
  • Improve public health

Driving the mission forward

Hitting the Road: Electric Car Comparison

71% of U.S. petroleum consumption

"Domestically produced, manufactured from vegetable oils, animal fats, or recycled restaurant grease"

“a clean-burning, high-energy alternative fuel that’s been used for decades to power vehicles”

"Domestically produced, manufactured from vegetable oils, animal fats, or recycled restaurant grease"

Blends: B5 to B100 (pure biodiesel), B20 is common

Benefits: increases energy security, improves public health and the environment, and provides safety benefits.

Emissions: Life-cycle and tailpipe emissions reduced.

Station/ Infrastructure: Belgrade

By-product of natural gas processing and crude oil refining; clean-burning, high-energy alternative fuel

Types: dedicated and bi-fuel

Benefits: energy security, vehicle and infrastructure availability, good fuel economy, safe

Emissions: lower carbon content, can produce lower amounts of some harmful air pollutants and GHGs

Stations/ Infrastructure: 2 in Bozeman, a number throughout MT; very similar to gasoline and diesel refueling equipment.

Natural Gas Formation

“electricity can be used to power all-electric vehicles and plug-in hybrid electric vehicles”

“an odorless, nontoxic, gaseous mixture of hydrocarbons-primarily CH4 that comes in two forms: CNG and LNG”

Draws electricity directly from the grid and other off-board electrical power sources and store it in batteries

Benefits: increases energy security, improves public health and the environment, and provides safety benefits.

Emissions: Tailpipe emissions reduced completely.

Station/ Infrastructure: PHEVs can be charged at home; Billings and Jackson, WY

Gaseous fuel, can be used as either compressed natural gas (CNG) or liquefied natural gas (LNG).

CNG: light-, medium-, and heavy-duty applications

LNG: good for trucks needing a longer range (liquid is more dense than gas)

Benefits: energy security, readily available, can be as low as half the cost of gasoline

Emissions: Less emissions than conventional gas or diesel because of lower carbon content

Stations/ Infrastructure: WY; CNG stations require more equipment and configuration, while LNG stations require more safety precautions during fueling.

"Electrolysis" in Electric Cars and Hydrogen Fuel Cells

Please contact me:

“a renewable fuel made from various plant materials collectively known as 'biomass'"

“a potentially emissions-free alternative fuel that can be produced from domestic resources”

Ability to power fuel cells in zero-emission EVs

Benefits: domestically produced, emits no harmful substances, has potential for high efficiency—2-3x more efficient than an internal combustion engine.

Emissions: water and air

Stations/ Infrastructure: only 12 in the US; not a commercial option yet

Renewable fuel made from corn and other plant materials- most gasoline contains ethanol in a low-level blend

Blends: E10, E15, E85

Benefits: renewable, domestically produced transportation fuel, helps reduce imported oil and GHG emissions

Emissions: CO2 released when ethanol is burned is balanced by the CO2 captured when crops are grown

Stations/ Infrastructure: E10 is readily available; E85 Salmon and Idaho Falls, ID
