Abstract | The Western Governors' Association decided that a policy roadmap was needed to integrate alternative fuels into a transporation fuel portfolio, taking into account the specific resource attributes of the West. The fuels and technologies covered are biodiesel and renewable biodiesel, biofuels, coal-to-liquids, compressed natural gas, propane, electricity, and hydrogen. The roadmap set out in the report addresses: potential resources, technologies and capabilities in Western states to develop alternative fuels; issues surrounding sustainable feedstock development, environmental impacts, and availability of conversion technologies; challenges common to all fuel types, including changing century-old dependence on petroleum; and the development of measurable goals and analytical tools to determine and mitigate the environmental impacts of new fuels. |
