Reports

Clean Cities and Communities Alternative Fuel Price Reports

This quarterly report provides an overview of U.S. alternative fuel prices and their comparison to gasoline and diesel. Prices in these reports are collected from Clean Cities and Communities coalition directors and stakeholders between each quarter, and averaged to identify regional trends and price variability by fuel type. All reported prices reflect retail, at-the-pump sales and include applicable federal and state motor fuel taxes. View all reports

Utah Clean Cities and Communities Annual Reports

Every year, each Clean Cities coalition submits to DOE an annual report of its activities and accomplishments for the previous calendar year. Coalition coordinators, who lead the local coalitions, provide information and data via an online database managed by the National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL). The data characterize membership, funding, projects, and activities of the coalitions. To view previous fuel reports, visit the Annual Report Resources Page

GREET Model

The Greenhouse gases, Regulated Emissions, and Energy use in Technologies Model

GREET is a full life-cycle model sponsored by the Argonne National Laboratory. It fully evaluates energy and emission impacts of advanced and new transportation fuels, the fuel cycle from well to wheel and the vehicle cycle through material recovery and vehicle disposal.

GREET 2020 Release – The Argonne National Laboratory’s Systems Assessment Center is pleased to announce the 2020 release of the suite of GREET Models.

AFLEET Tool

Alternative Fuel Life-Cycle Environmental and Economic Transportation

The Department of Energy’s Clean Cities Program has enlisted the expertise of Argonne to develop a tool to examine both the environmental and economic costs and benefits of alternative fuel and advanced vehicles. Argonne has developed the Alternative Fuel Life-Cycle Environmental and Economic Transportation (AFLEET) Tool for Clean Cities stakeholders to estimate petroleum use, greenhouse gas emissions, air pollutant emissions, and cost of ownership of light-duty and heavy-duty vehicles using simple spreadsheet inputs.
