    ROUSH, SC4 Offer Propane Passenger Van

    ROUSH CleanTech wants to help your

    fleet go green with propane. The

    company offers a variety of propane

    vehicle conversions, and is giving

    public and private Southern Colorado

    fleets a chance to utilize a Ford E350

    passenger van for an extended period

    of time this spring. Participants will also

    have their fuel and fueling costs

    covered. Insurance coverage will bethe responsibility of the borrower

    Southern Colorado Clean Cities

    Collation (SC4) is facilitating the

    program for ROUSH, and SC4 Partnerswill have priority access to the van. To

    find out more about the program and

    reserve a time to borrow the van,

    contact SC4 today!

    Propane, also known as liquefied

    petroleum gas (LPG), is used by many

    fleets. It has a high energy density,

    giving propane vehicles good driving

    range, and propane fueling infra-

    structure is widespread.

    For more information about the ROUSH

    CleanTech Demo Loan Program, call

    Southern Colorado Clean Cities Coalition

    The Environmental Protection Agencyhas ruled that 2001 model year and

    newer light trucks and cars can safelyuse a 15 percent ethanol mix (E15), amove that increases the fuel standardfrom 10 percent and will help todramatically increase usage of thedomestically-grown alternative fuel.

    Until recently, automakers andpetroleum producers had warned thathigher grade blends (above thecurrent 10 percent ethanol standard)

    EPA Approves Expanded E15 Mix

    could harm an engines seals, pumpsand other components. However, the

    EPA ruling documents extensive testingshowing the fear is unwarranted.

    While the EPA decision doesnt meanthat consumers will see an immediatechange at the pump from theconventional blends, the move is beingwidely heralded as major milestone forwider usage and distribution ofethanol, both through the 15 percentmix as well as more E85 awareness.

    Boulder Electric Vehicles All Electric DeliveryTruck Prototype, complete June 2009

    The California Air ResourcesBoard (CARB) has officiallycertified Boulder ElectricVehicle's 11,500 lbs. GVWRtrucks as Zero EmissionsVehicles (ZEV). These

    models include a mediumduty delivery van,passenger shuttle van, flat-bed work truck, parks andrecreation service truck,and service body build-out.

    CARB is a departmentwithin the cabinet-levelCalifornia EnvironmentalProtection Agencythenations only state-levelregulatory agency underthe Clean Air Act. Other

    The Fleet Electrification Roadmap provides insightand analysis on the economics of electric vehiclesfor fleet operators and demonstrates targetedopportunities in which innovative models can helpmake electric-drive vehicles a compellingopportunity for U.S. businesses and government.

    By focusing on these opportunities, fleet operatorscould drive much-needed scale productionvolumes in the U.S. battery industry, driving down

    costs to benefit the broader consumer market forelectric vehicles.

    Question of the Quarter:Which federal tax incentives were extended as a resultof the recently enacted Tax Relief, UnemploymentInsurance Reauthorization, and Job Creation Act of2010?

    Answer:On Dec. 17, President Obama signed H.R. 4853, the TaxRelief, Unemployment Insurance Reauthorization, andJob Creation Act of 2010. This Act extends and reinstatesseveral alternative fuel tax credits through Dec. 31, 2011.

    Extended tax credits include (click for more details):

    Qualified Alternative Fuel Infrastructure TaxCredit

    Volumetric Ethanol Excise Tax Credit (VEETC) Small Ethanol Producer Tax Credit Small Agri-Biodiesel Producer Tax Credit

    The Act also reinstates several tax credits that expiredafter December 31, 2009:

    Alternative Fuel Excise Tax Credit Alternative Fuel Mixture Excise Tax Credit Biodiesel Mixture Excise Tax Credit Biodiesel Income Tax Credit

    The Alternative Fuel, Alternative Fuel Mixture, andBiodiesel Mixture Excise Tax Credits were reinstated

    retroactively, meaning taxpayers may submit a one-timeclaim for qualified fuel sold or used during the 2010 taxyear. The IRS has issued special guidance to allow a 180-day period for the submission of these claims. For more

    information, click here (PDF link).

    DOE Readies $30 Million Biofuels Grant

    The DOE is offering $30 millionin grants funding projectsthat support thedevelopment of advancedbiofuels to replace gasolineor diesel without requiring

    upgrades or changes to thevehicle or available fuelinginfrastructure.

    Developing the nextgeneration of Americanbiofuels will enhance ournational energy security,expand the domesticbiofuels industry, andproduce new clean energy

    jobs, said Energy Secretary

    Steven Chu.

    The funding provides up to$30 million over the next threeto four years to support asmany as five projects. The

    projects will focus onoptimizing and integratingprocess steps that convertbiomass into biofuels andbioproducts that willeventually be used to supporthydrocarbon fuels andchemicals. These processimprovements could includepretreatment methods thatalter the biomass to improveyields.

    About the Southern Colorado Clean Cities CoalitionSouthern Colorado Clean Cities Coalition (SC4) is a coalition of individuals, businesses andorganizations, both public and private. SC4 was first designated as a coalition on July 13th1994.

    For the first 13 years, this coalition was solely focused on the Colorado Springs area. In2008, the coalition sought to expand its boundaries in order to support many morecommunities who need assistance. Though based in Colorado Springs, SCCCC spans theentire Southern region of Colorado.

    Southern Colorado Clean Cities Coalition develops public/private partnerships in SouthernColorado to promote alternative fuels and advanced vehicles, fuel blends, fueeconomy, hybrid vehicles, idle reduction, and alternative modes of transportation.

    Current SC4 partners include: ROUSH CleanTech, City of Colorado Springs, Dwire

    Earthmoving and Excavating, Engineering & Environment, Inc., US General Services Admin

    NBF Seeks Companies Interested in

    Biodiesel Infrastructure

    The National BiodieselFoundation (NBF) isseeking companiesinterested in partici-pating in a joint grant

    submission to the USDepartment of Energy for the development of biodieseinfrastructure.

    This is in preparation of the 2011 DOE Clean Cities GrantSolicitation due out in February 2011. It is our goal to havepartners pre-approved through this process so the grant canbe written and submitted in a timely fashion. Projectinformation (see below for specifics) is due to Tom VerryExecutive Director no later than midnight, Friday, February 42011. The objective of the infrastructure project is to displaceon-highway petroleum-based fuel with biodiesel.

    The NBF will likely choose five to six partners/locations to

    include in our DOE grant proposal with each asking DOE fo$50,000 to $100,000. By participating in this process andsubmitting project information, we do not guaranteeparticipation in the grant proposal or funding from DOEQuestions can be directed to Mr. Verry at 800-841-5849.
