Stony Brook, Long Island, New York, October 3, 2012 – The Greater Long Island Clean Cities Coalition (GLICCC), is hosting an Alternative Fuel Vehicle Conference entitled “Alternative Fuels – Securing Our Future.” This year’s conference, being held on October 5, 2012 at Carlyle on the Green at Bethpage State Park in Farmingdale, NY from 8:30 a.m. – 1:00 p.m., has a title that says it all!
This year will feature something new for the conference: a keynote panel discussion. This unique conversation – featuring a PAST GOVERNOR OF NEW YORK STATE and the C.E.O. OF A MAJOR CORPORATION – will be of great interest to individuals in both the public and private sectors, as well as to anyone concerned about Long Island’s environment.
In 2006, working in a public/private partnership, New York State, the Town of Smithtown and Clean Energy put in place the first 100% compressed natural gas fueled refuse collection fleet outside of the State of California, cutting collection costs improving local air quality. This extremely successful project is now used as a model around the nation. The panel will discuss the project from inception through completion.
The panel will include:
The purpose of the Greater Long Island Clean Cities Coalition conference is to educate consumers and fleet operators to the many choices of American-produced clean fuels that are available to them such as: compressed natural gas (CNG), liquefied natural gas (LNG), renewable natural gas (RNG), E-85, propane, all electric, electric hybrid technology and biodiesel.
The five main technology areas that the Clean Cities program focuses on are: Alternative Fuels & Vehicles, Fuel Blends, Fuel Economy, Hybrid Electric Vehicles, and Idle Reduction.
Over the past sixteen years GLICCC has awarded $15 MILLION dollars in American Recovery Reinvestment Act and over $10 MILLION dollars in Congestion Mitigation and Air Quality Funding and to our stakeholders including municipalities and private fleet operators that have taken on and completed alternative clean fuel vehicle projects. Through these projects, last year alone we displaced 14.1 million gallons of petroleum.
In the sixteen years since our official dedication, we have placed over 650 vehicles on the road. Our stakeholder companies have grown to 402, which translate to 595 actual members. These numbers represent most of the towns in the Nassau/Suffolk Ozone non-attainment area, universities, and utilities, refuse companies, private industry along with both counties.
Our projects benefit Long Island’s environment and economy, and our nation’s energy security!
