COMPARATIVE ANALYSIS OF ALTERNATIVE FUELS FOR THE INEL VEHICLE FLEET

This report summarizes the results of a comparative systems analysis of various alternative fuels for use in the buses, midsize vehicles, and automobiles that make up the vehicle fleet at the Idaho National Engineering Laboratory (INEL). The study was performed as part of the Laboratory Directed Research and Development (LDRD) Program for EG&G Idaho, Inc. Regulations will require the INEL to reduce total gasoline and diesel fuel use 10% by 1995 compared to 1991 levels, and will require that 50% of all new vehicles be fueled by some type of alternative fuel by 1998. A model was developed to analyze how these goals could be achieved, and what the cost would be to implement the goals.
