The Land-of-Sky Clean Vehicles Coalition was created in 2004 to promote alternative fuel vehicle adoption in the Asheville Metro Area
Clean Cities Designation 2
Program Goal: support local partnerships to reduce petroleum use in US transportation sector, primarily by promoting cleaner, domestic fuels and vehicles
Support: Networking, Funding Opportunities, Technical Assistance
Alternative Fuels Promoted by CVC
Biodiesel Electricity Natural gas Propane Ethanol (E85) Hydrogen
Clean Cities Alternative Fuels Portfolio
Benefits of AFVs 2
Fuel Economy Energy Security Fewer Emissions
Fuel that is cheaper, cleaner, and made in America
CVC Services
The CVC helps coalition partners adopt alternative fuel vehicles by educating fleet managers, policy makers & other stakeholders
about alternative fuel technology and benefits conducting fleet assessments to identify AFV applications working with local and state governments to develop policies
that facilitate AFV adoption connecting alternative fuel/vehicle businesses with local
clients providing a forum for industry partners and fleets to address
technology barriers to reducing petroleum use identifying and securing funding for vehicles and infrastructure
B20 is the most common blend in U.S.
Used in all unmodified diesel engines.
Similar payload capacity, range, horsepower, and torque as diesel.
Promises rural and urban microeconomic benefits.
Selected Biodiesel Users in the Region MSD NC DOT City of Asheville Buncombe County Hendersonville and Co. Mission Hospital Great Smoky Mts. Nat’l
Park Asheville Regional Airport
(B20 on and off road use)
Biodiesel Use
Nontoxic and biodegradable Reduction of unburned hydrocarbons, carbon
monoxide and particulate matter Engine operating on B20 has similar fuel consumption,
hp, and torque to engine running on conventional diesel
Solvent effect of blends above B20 can release deposits from previous diesel fuel use that clog fuel filters
Cold weather starting and storage issues ABOVE B20 B100 - 8% less energy per gallon than petroleum
diesel but has a higher cetane rating, so burns more completely, thus capturing more energy, and negating the lower energy value
Fuel Cost: B99 = $3.68/gallon delivered B20= $3.95/gallon delivered (less expensive when
direct purchase from BRB) B50 at Gas-Up in West Asheville = $4.09/gallon Average Diesel in Asheville = $4.15/gallon
Biodiesel Considerations
West Asheville Biodiesel Pump
Biodiesel Projects and Activities
Blue Ridge Biofuels LLC Used Cooking Oil for Feedstock
Over 500 Restaurants Expanded Collection / Production / Distribution
DOE (SEBI), SEO, NC DAQ, NC GBF, NC Biofuels Center
Sold 1.3 million gallons since 2005! Education and Outreach Efforts: biofuel forums,
regional workshops, community events, conference presentations, facility tours
Biodiesel Projects and Activities
8 Commercial stations in the Region (B20 to B99)
12 Private fueling sites in the Region Several Petro Suppliers distribute BRB
biodiesel Community Oil Recycling (CORE)
Program is addressing limited feedstock issue

Types of natural gas used in vehicles Compressed Natural Gas (CNG):
used in light-, medium-, and heavy-duty vehicles.
Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG): used with heavy-duty vehicles and locomotives.
Types of vehicles bi-fuel dedicated.
Types of fueling stations time-fill fast-fill
Natural Gas Use
AT&T CNG Van
Same fuel economy as gasoline vehicle.
Fuel Cost: $1.99 to 2.18/gallon Vehicle Conversion Cost:
Light duty ~ $9,500 to $18,000 Heavy duty ~ $25,000 (dump truck) to
$65,000 (dual engine sweeper) Infrastructure Cost:
Fast-fill station ~ $400,000 to $1 million Time-fill station ~ $200,000

Propane is the most used alternative transportation fuel in the U.S. and the world.
Stored and dispensed as a liquid
Types of vehicles bifuel dedicated.
Used in light- and medium-duty vehicles, heavy-duty trucks, and buses.
Many propane vehicles are converted gasoline vehicles.
Propane Use
Biltmore Estate Propane Bus
Popular choice for non-road vehicles such as forklifts, mowers, agricultural and construction vehicles.
Nontoxic and no threat to soil, surface water, or groundwater
Vehicle Conversion Cost: $4,000 to $12,000 Light duty vehicles ~ $6,000 to $7,000
Fuel Cost: $2.08/gallon Fueling Infrastructure Cost:
Under $50,000 Alliance Autogas will provide the fueling
infrastructure at no cost for fleets
