Texas Opens First Bi-Fuel Station 10/19/05 12:15



OMAHA (DTN) -- The National Ethanol Vehicle Coalition and the Propane Education & Research Council applaud the efforts of the alternative fuels industry in the opening of the nation's first public Propane(LPG)/E85 fueling facility.

With support of elected officials of Bexar County, Texas, the facility will provide E85 and LPG to vehicles operated by local, state, and federal officials and also to the general motoring public at the CleanFUEL USA station located at 4023 North Pan Am Expressway in San Antonio, Tex.

The facility will also offer propane fuel.

"This is a historic moment for our county in terms of safeguarding our economic and energy security," said Commissioner Tommy Adkisson. "By making this local effort, we are helping to change the national landscape," he added.

Roy W. Willis, President and CEO of the Propane Education & Research Council stated, "We are pleased to recognize the significant efforts of the propane community in Texas to create new and innovative measures to promote propane. This new site will build on the large number of propane fueling stations in Texas and continue to foster growth in this important market."

Phillip Lampert, Executive Director of the National Ethanol Vehicle Coalition added, "We have long advanced the notion that alternative fuels are not in competition with each other, but rather should be working together to introduce Americans' to fuels other than regular unleaded and diesel. The establishment of the first E85 fueling site in Texas is only made more exciting by the partnership that we have established with the propane community. We expect both forms of fuel to excel at this new site and in other locations across the nation."

CleanFUEL USA fueling location is open 24 hours a day by using their club card. You may register for a club card at the grand opening celebration.

The new San Antonio propane and E85 station was funded in part by a grant provided by DOE, a grant provided by the NEVC, and CleanFUEL USA.
 
I think more countries (or in America states) should go for cleaner/renewable energy. Long run it will be much cheaper and better for the economy, and countries that don’t adapt now could find them selfs in a bit of a financial crisis a lit further down the line. :ermm:
 
If only there were a way to get it here.....

I know Ford and a few other companies already have FFVs planned for 2006, so I hope that this means more E85/Biodiesel stations.
