The California Transit Association will be offering their Fall Webinar on September 28 at 10 AM PST. The webinar will cover all the details of AB 118 alternative fuel funding opportunities in the state of California.
Assembly Bill 118 (Nunez) was signed into law in October 2007 and provides approximately $200 million annually through 2015 for new alternative fuel and air quality incentive programs. Transit agencies that already operate alternative-fuel buses or plan to integrate alternative fuel technology into their fleets may qualify for funding under the AB 118 programs.
Scheduled presenters include Aleecia Macias from the California Energy Commission (CEC), discussing the agency's Alternative and Renewable Fuel and Vehicle Technology Program, and Robert Meyer from the Employment Training Panel (ETP), covering the opportunities available for workforce training funding for alternative fuel projects.

Storage vessels are designed to hold gas at high pressure after it leaves the compressors. Regardless of a CNG station's fueling pattern or dispensing system (slow-fill or fast-fill), gas storage systems can be extremely useful in reducing fill times and ensuring fuel availability at all times.

A new report published by the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory indicates the nation's overall energy consumption dropped in 2009. The chart above (full size here) shows the energy flow to various sectors for each fuel source. When examining the transportation sector, it is evident petroleum still dominates the sector and much of the fuel is "rejected" as the result of energy lost during internal combustion.
Furthermore, only 3% of the natural gas usage nationwide is dedicated to transportation, while 72% of all petroleum supplies are used in the sector. Additionally, despite the increased interest in CNG fueling, petroleum still accounts for 94% of all transportation-related fuel consumption. As the simplified chart below demonstrates (full size here), though domestically produced natural gas is playing a large role in transportation today than in previous decades, there is still ample room for growth.
