Alabama Clean Fuels Coalition

Alabama Clean Fuels Coalition (ACFC) serves as the principal coordinating point for clean, alternative fuel and advanced technology vehicle activities in Alabama.  The Clean Cities program was established in 1993 by the U.S. Department of Energy to facilitate voluntary public/private partnerships around the country to create viable markets for clean, alternative fuel vehicles.  ACFC was incorporated in 2002 as an Alabama 501c3 non-profit. We received our designation as a designated Clean Cities coalition in 2009 and was re-designated in 2014.  Today a national network of nearly 100 Clean Cities coalitions brings together stakeholders in the public and private sectors to deploy alternative and renewable fuels, idle-reduction measures, fuel economy improvements, and emerging transportation technologies.

ACFCs objectives are

• To reduce our dependence on foreign petroleum
• To expand the market for alternative fuel and advanced technology vehicles
• To improve air quality on Alabama thru increasing the use of cleaner alternative fuels
• To create economic development (jobs) in Alabama
• ACFC is funded by member dues and grants

ACFC strives to do four things well!

• Be a clearinghouse for information about alternative fuels and advanced technology vehicles
• Receive and provide grants for alternative fuel infrastructure projects
• Conduct public education and outreach
• Work on State and National Alternative Fuel/Vehicle Policy

Biodiesel Tank Cleaning

This grant program provides up to $2,500 to Alabama public K-12 school systems, colleges, universities and local governments to cover the cost of cleaning existing diesel fuel storage tanks in preparation for storing biodiesel.
