20% Improvement in
       Energy Efficiency by 2015
• Established Public/Private Partnership UBEES
  (Utah Building Energy Efficiency Strategies)
• Energy Efficiency in the State Vehicle Fleet
• Co-developed, with DAS, Think!Energy Utah,
  state employee energy efficiency
• Awarded NGA Policy Academy Energy
  Efficiency for developing energy strategies for
  buildings
• Promote and fund Energy Code Training for
  building inspectors
State of Utah Fleet
• Individual agencies
  right-sized 116 vehicles
  over the past 2 years.
• State vehicles traveled
  over 2.8 million miles
  less in fiscal year 2009
  than in fiscal year
  2007. This is reduction
  of nearly 3.5%.
• The “Think! Energy Utah” program is a self
  awareness challenge to all state employees to
  make an impact in our energy efficiency in the
  following areas:
  – Our workplaces
  – Our transportation
  – Our homes
Meet PM2.5 and Ozone Standards and
Reduce Greenhouse Gases Emissions to
         2005 Level by 2020

• Reduce emissions from transportation
• Implement CNG I-15 Corridor Plan and work
  with EPA on CNG conversions
• Work with USTAR on Carbon Capture and
  Sequestration
• Encourage Landfill Gas Utilization
I-15 CNG Corridor

                                   Months (Jan 2007-August 2009)
                 Graph provided by: Questar Gas
Utah’s DOE FY 09 Clean Cities Grant

• Funding goes towards
 –10 new CNG stations with various owners,
  including the state of Utah
 –6 CNG Upgrades (State of Utah)
 –3 Biodiesel
 –3 L/CNG (CH4 Energy and UPS (2))
 –Questar Gas 18 CNG station upgrades
 –Questar Gas 6 new CNG stations
 –Incremental cost reduction for alternative
  fueled vehicles
State of Utah Fleet
• The state fuel network has
  increased the amount of
  alternative fuels available
  to our fleet.
• Use of biodiesel alone is
  up nearly tenfold from
  2007.
• Alternative fuels along
  with reductions in miles
  and fuel have resulted in a
  CO2 reduction of 3,700
  metric tons, equal to 672
  vehicles off the road.
Idle Free Awareness Week

• Governor Herbert, Mayor Becker, Mayor
  Coroon, Mayor Billings, and Mayor Godfrey all
  signed the Idle Free Awareness Week joint
  declaration on September 21, 2009 at Mountain
  View Elementary School.
Idle Free Awareness Week




• Every citizen can similarly improve our
  state’s air quality if they turn off their
  vehicles whenever they are going to idle
  more than 10 seconds.
School Bus Drivers
            Achievements
• In the 2008 school year 3,000 school bus
  drivers in Utah reduced their combined
  idling time by 21 minutes per day per bus.
• This produced an air quality benefit of
  preventing 5,000 lbs. of particulate matter
  emissions and improved our state’s air
  quality.
