Abstract | Adding E85 to the product line of a fueling station has the potential to increase customers, differentiate the station, and it can be a profitable investment. The document identifies seven variables that make E85 profitable and weighs their influence using a model NREL created based on a discounted cash flow analysis. Since fuel throughput was identified as the most important project variable, guidance is offered to help the station owner assess potential E85 throughput. |
