Dane County’s CNG History
• Experience with landfill gas and digesters• Pipeline quality gas project• Continued to evaluate options• Pilot bioCNG project• Funding from SEO and WCTP
– CNG station, bioCNG station, and vehicles
![Page 3: Dane County CNG Efforts](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062501/56816727550346895ddbc159/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
What’s Driving Fleet Conversions• Fuel Savings• Proven Technology – engines• Emissions regulations
– Capital Cost– O&M Costs– Payload
• Available Fuel Stations (Chicken & Egg)• Contract Requirements• Image / Marketing

Vehicles• 24 vehicles in fleet
– All Dual-fuel– F150s, F250s, F350s,
Ford Fusion, Transit Connect– 7 Departments
• Will add 15-20 in 2013– Some dedicated CNG– Plow Trucks, van, pickups, passenger car
• Conversion cost– $10,000 - $12,000 each
![Page 6: Dane County CNG Efforts](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062501/56816727550346895ddbc159/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
Vehicle Conversion Options
• Dedicated, bi-fuel, or dual fuel– Available options & intended use– Range– Typical route (return to shop?)
• Direct from manufacturer or OEM conversion– Available models– Warranty / service– Cost
![Page 7: Dane County CNG Efforts](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062501/56816727550346895ddbc159/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
Vehicle ROI
• Variables– Initial Conversion Cost
• Dedicated or Dual-fuel– Miles driven per year– MPG– Fuel Savings
~$2.00/gal

Hurdles• Vehicle Procurement
– EPA Certifications– Limited options– Delays
• Fueling Stations• Training
– Infrastructure & vehicle maintenance• Learning Curve
– Permitting, codes, regulatory agencies, taxes, maintenance, etc
![Page 19: Dane County CNG Efforts](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062501/56816727550346895ddbc159/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Other Considerations
• Vehicle maintenance– Local options?– Tools and training
• Building Modifications– Code compliance
• Training– Technicians, drivers,
Department heads, etc
