Capital District Clean Communities

Capital District Clean Communities The Capital District Clean Communities Coalition is part of the U.S. Department of Energy's Clean Cities program.

The Capital District provides substantial opportunities for the expansion of the alternative fuel marketplace, particularly with the large state vehicle fleet that operates in the area. Stakeholders in CDCC recognize the need to provide greater fuel choices in the Capital District and to reduce its dependence on imported oil. Several of the CDCC stakeholders have moved forward in the alternative f

uel arena. Some have received grant monies through the Clean Cities program to aid in the cost of converting vehicles, purchasing new alternative fuel vehicles or installing fueling infrastructure. Many area stations offer E-85 fuel to the public. Several offer bio-diesel at the pump and bio-heat for residential heating oil. The Albany International Airport has installed a CNG fueling station (using airport funds) and with the aid of grant money, purchased six CNG parking lot shuttle vehicles and several CNG pick-up trucks that are used in airport maintenance activities. The Capital District Transportation Authority operates over 50 hybrid-electric buses and has ordered more. National Grid uses bio-diesel in all of their diesel trucks. A recent (2009) USDOE Clean Cities solicitation attracted new “players” to the Alternative Fuel Vehicle arena: Coca Cola, the City of Albany, the State University at Albany, NYS Department of State, NYS Department of Environmental Conservation, National Grid, Verizon and five area school districts. These entities will receive a total of 59 AFV’s:
