ACT News: Alternative Fuel Vehicles Help Disaster Recovery, Fleet Resiliency

Jun 19, 2018

Alternative fuel vehicles, running on fuels such as biodiesel, electricity, natural gas, and propane – can help build system resiliency by diversifying an emergency response fleet. If a storm or other emergency disrupts a state’s primary fuel supply, emergency managers should have a plan to activate fleets that run on alternative fuels to perform essential services.

Currently, most government and utility fleets operate on petroleum-based fuels. These fuels, consumed as gasoline or diesel, are produced at regional petroleum refineries, which are then transported by interstate and intrastate transmission pipelines, or over-the-road delivery systems, and placed in local storage. While noticeable disruptions are rare due to robust fuel markets, large finished product reserves do not exist; therefore, system outages can have large and immediate system wide effects. These outages can cause a lack of available petroleum-based fuels.

Integrating alternative fuel vehicles (AFVs) into emergency operation plans and related plans will allow a jurisdiction to rely on a diversified pool of fuel resources in the event of a petroleum shortage. Fuel diversity should become an essential part of the emergency planning process.

The National Association of State Energy Officials (NASEO) launched a nation-wide program – the Initiative for Resiliency in Energy through Vehicles (iREV) – to help integrate alternative fuel vehicles into emergency operation plans. iREV has developed a series of reports that outline the benefits of alternative fuel vehicles, highlight ways that these fuels have helped states and communities during emergencies, and recommend actions states can take to integrate alternative fuel vehicles into future emergency plans.

Four “case studies” provide basic information on biodiesel, electric, natural gas, and propane vehicles for emergency planners and provide key context for why alternative fuels should be considered during the emergency planning process, and used during emergencies. Read the full article here.

Congrats to our own Jim Bunsey for being named one of Butane-Propane News’ Industry Innovators!“I want to ensure that propane is here to stay and help in the future."

James "Jim" Bunsey — one of the finalists for this year's BPN Industry Innovators — is director of operations at Superior Energy Systems, Ltd. (SES). Bunsey spearheaded the strategy and development of the first technologically advanced propane autogas refueling dispenser in North America, leading to the installation and operation of more than 1,400 systems nationwide. To go along with those dispensers, Bunsey and his team at SES designed a cloud-based fuel management software that works off cell service and allows customers to log in and curate new users, vehicles and accounts, and restrict access.

Read more about Bunsey and how his innovations are fueling progress in the autogas market here:
