Fuel Freedom Foundation
• Non-partisan initiative dedicated to reducing U.S. dependence on petroleum
• Initiate changes necessary for gasoline, diesel, natural gas, ethanol, methanol, and electricity to compete on equal footing – Overcome the regulatory, commercial, and practical
barriers that impede innovation in fuel production, consumption , and true market competition

What’s Needed for Alternative Fuel Success
• Consumer Value Proposition • Acceptable Vehicle Attributes • Adequate Fueling Infrastructure • Acceptable Business Case for Producers and
Retailers • Positive Societal and Environmental Impacts
![Page 10: Presented at FUELING AMERICAN GROWTH HOW ENERGY ...€¦ · • Higher octane fuels enable higher IC engine efficiency – Ethanol and methanol blends – Refining HC processing •](https://reader034.vdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022042209/5eace5ae8a23d376e77efc1d/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Consumer Value Proposition
• Lowest costs per mile • Vehicle costs minimized
– OEM FFV no to small incremental costs – Low conversion costs
• Competitively priced fuel at the pump – Priced based on energy mileage (energy content and vehicle efficiency) – Price also needs to account for higher conversion costs, lack of
infrastructure, added fueling or additional time to fuel

Past Experiences with Alternative Fuels
Goal of Alternative Fuels
Life Cycle Cost ($/mile)

Vehicle Attributes
• Economics only one factor that drives purchasing decision • Attributes that need to similar
– Performance ~power and torque (not fuel economy) – Vehicle range ~ 350 to 400 miles consistent with once a week fueling – Storage and interior space – Safety
• Sellable attributes – Green image – HOV lane access in some states – Lower life cycle costs

Fueling Infrastructure
• Ease and comfort of use • Density of Stations • Pricing
![Page 13: Presented at FUELING AMERICAN GROWTH HOW ENERGY ...€¦ · • Higher octane fuels enable higher IC engine efficiency – Ethanol and methanol blends – Refining HC processing •](https://reader034.vdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022042209/5eace5ae8a23d376e77efc1d/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Reasonable Business Case Throughout Supply Chain
• Production • Distribution • Blending • Retailing
![Page 14: Presented at FUELING AMERICAN GROWTH HOW ENERGY ...€¦ · • Higher octane fuels enable higher IC engine efficiency – Ethanol and methanol blends – Refining HC processing •](https://reader034.vdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022042209/5eace5ae8a23d376e77efc1d/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Positive Environmental Impacts
• Equal or better tailpipe emissions – NMHC, CO, NOx, PM and toxics
• Equal or better fuel cycle emissions – Greenhouse gas emissions – Criteria emissions
• Equal or better multi-media Impacts

GHG Impacts of Fuel and Vehicle Technologies
![Page 16: Presented at FUELING AMERICAN GROWTH HOW ENERGY ...€¦ · • Higher octane fuels enable higher IC engine efficiency – Ethanol and methanol blends – Refining HC processing •](https://reader034.vdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022042209/5eace5ae8a23d376e77efc1d/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
GHG Takeaways • Higher octane fuels enable higher IC engine efficiency
– Ethanol and methanol blends – Refining HC processing
• High efficiency ICE coupled with electrification provides a cost effective pathway to achieving GHG reductions – DI, turbocharged, downsized, down speed, high compression
• Need to minimize future fuel and vehicle costs – High octane gasoline an option but possibly more expensive if
hydrocarbon processing used – Ethanol or methanol may be the best fueling options either in lower
level blends or in higher level blends – Need also to minimize battery storage

![Page 18: Presented at FUELING AMERICAN GROWTH HOW ENERGY ...€¦ · • Higher octane fuels enable higher IC engine efficiency – Ethanol and methanol blends – Refining HC processing •](https://reader034.vdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022042209/5eace5ae8a23d376e77efc1d/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Summary • Natural gas supply in U.S. opens opportunity to introduce less
expensive natural gas derived fuels like ethanol and methanol • Current U.S. fleet of FFVs coupled with conversions creates
demand to justify production • Possible tailpipe emission benefits with existing fleet • Alcohol fuels will enable more efficient newer vehicles—
lowering GHG impact—at potentially lower costs than alternatives
• Much work needed to overcome barriers to fuels competition
