Building an Alternative Fuel Infrastructure
FEMP helps Federal agencies locate, use, and develop alternative fuel infrastructure. This includes guidance surrounding infrastructure regulations and assistance in partnering with other entities to achieve Federal fleet management goals.
The Energy Policy Act (EPAct) of 2005 requires that all Federal alternative-fuel vehicles (AFVs) use alternative fuel all of the time unless it is not available (more than 5 miles or a 15 minute drive away) or is more expensive per gallon than gasoline. In addition, the Energy Independence and Security Act (EISA) of 2007 requires all Federal fleet fueling centers to install at least one renewable fuel pump by 2010.
The following information is available to help Federal agencies meet these requirements:
The Department of Energy offers data trends on Federal use of alternative fuels and vehicles. The data is compiled from reports to the Federal Automotive Statistical Tool (FAST).
