Current IFTA Alternative Fuels • • • Gasohol Ethanol Methanol Propane (LPG) Compressed Natural Gas (CNG) Liquid Natural Gas (LNG) A-55 E-85 M-85

E-85 • ETHONAL • GASOLINE

M-85 • METHONAL • GASOLINE

A-55 • Naptha • Water • Blending Agent

By Lubrizol Corporation

EMULSIFIED DIESEL FUEL + WATER + DIESEL = PURINOX EMULSIFIER

BIO-DIESEL CORN OIL VEGETABL E OIL GREAS E Mixed with lye to separate the esters

LIQUID NATURAL GAS • Lower cost to install fueling facilities • LNG fuel tank interchangeable with diesel fuel tank • Higher cost per gallon • LNG fuel tank and fuel is heavier

LNG TANK INSTALLED

COMPRESSED NATURAL GAS • Lower cost per gallon • Lighter fuel tanks and fuel • Cost of installing fueling facilities double that of an LNG facility • Fuel tanks are bulky and must be protected, usually placed behind the cab of the truck

CNG TANKS ON VEHICLE ^ CNG Tanks

VEHICLES

VEHICLE TYPES • DUAL FUEL VEHICLES • BI-FUEL VEHICLES • HYBRID VEHICLES

DEFINITION • DUAL FUEL • BI-FUEL • HYBRID Vehicles that Vehicles can operate on two that operate on two fuels simultaneously individually simultaneously • GENERALLY or individually Diesel and Gasoline • GENERALLY CNG or LNG and LPG Gasoline and E-85 or M 85

FUELS USED • Diesel Fuel Primary fuel used to operate the engine • LNG or CNG Secondary fuels introduced to reduce emissions. It can only be used in combination with diesel fuel

DIESEL MANIFOLD DUAL FUEL MANIFOLD

FUEL SYSTEM • Starts and idles on diesel • 160 degrees looks for alternative fuel. • If alternative fuel is available the system begins injecting CNG or LNG

PERCENTAGE OF FUEL START & IDLE 100% DIESEL AVERAGES 20 % DIESEL 80 % CNG OR LNG PEAK 6% DIESEL 94% CNG OR LNG

CUSTOMER BASE • Government entities • Private companies with government contracts • Private Companies interested in alternative fuel sources

INTRASTATE CARRIERS Diesel Fuel Tax paid when fuel is purchased LNG & CNG Tax paid by carrier directly to the Board on a return or by purchasing Flat Rate Stickers

DUAL FUEL & PTO Vehicles A customer base for dual fuel vehicles are waste disposal companies. These vehicles operate PTO’s and claim refunds with the BOE How do they claim refunds ?

INTERSTATE CARRIERS • Diesel Tax paid at the pump in California • LNG or CNG Tax paid to the BOE Cannot use California Flat Rate Sticker • Tax Reporting Join IFTA or buy fuel trip permits

EXAMPLE OF DIESEL AND DUAL FUEL IFTA FLEET • 10 Diesel vehicles • Travel 100, 000 miles a quarter between CA& NV • 40% of those miles are in Nevada • All fuel is purchased in California • 10 Dual fuel vehicles • Travel 100, 000 miles a quarter between CA& NV • 10% of those miles are in Nevada • All fuel is purchased in California How do they report?

COMBINED DIESEL SCHEDULE

DUAL FUEL CNG SCHEDULE

SPLIT FLEET REPORTING • Carrier must file two IFTA Reports • The IFTA account number is coded to identify the dual fuel fleet • Report an accurate fleet MPG

DIESEL FLEET SCHEDULE

DUAL FUEL DIESEL SCHEDULE

DUAL FUEL CNG SCHEDULE

CHALLENGES OF ALTERNATIVE FUELS • Accounting for each new fuel type • Standardized measurement of the fuel (Therm vs. PSI) • Tax on new fuel types • Combination of fuels being used
