Alternative Fuels/Advanced Technology Vehicles

"Alternative fuels" are fuels such as biodiesel, natural gas, ethanol, methanol, propane, hydrogen, and other emerging fuels. “Advanced technology vehicles" are vehicles that use hybrid technology, solar power, fuel cells or electricity to power their operation.

This partnership includes the Granite State Clean Cities Coalition (GSCCC) hosted by DES., a collaborative of over 100 public and private interests from all regions in New Hampshire. Coalition members support the goals of reducing dependence on foreign oil and improving air quality through the use of domestically produced, cleaner burning alternative fuels and other fuel reduction strategies. more …
