This will affect businesses through changes to fuel taxes and requirements to purchase carbon permits. Large emitters could face substantial carbon tax bills. The tax will also impact individuals through adjustments to income tax thresholds and increases to welfare payments. The document recommends that businesses factor higher costs into pricing, reduce energy use, and budget for changes to fuel tax credits under the new carbon tax plan.

Milwaukee Area Technical College Presentation - 2015 Green Vehicles Workshop ...Wisconsin Clean Cities
This document summarizes a presentation on the effects of transportation emissions on air quality in Southeastern Wisconsin. It discusses how combustion of fuels like gasoline and diesel produces particles and gases that can lead to ground-level ozone formation through reactions with nitrogen oxides and other compounds. Areas that exceed ozone limits are designated as "nonattainment zones" and required to take measures to reduce emissions. The document also briefly discusses climate change and the need to transition away from fossil fuels to cleaner energy sources to reduce greenhouse gas emissions.

Editor's Notes
Most everyone knows about these 3 top reasonsWhy NG now? The 3rd point is the game-changer – domestic supply has created an environment where there’s no going backbut to understand better, let’s look at the details of 1 gallon…next slide
CNG Practicality from a Fleet Owner:Briefly explain the current landscape of the trucking industry…How has your business handled the recessionary economy? Why JVT pursued CNG?Needed to do something as fuel is the number one operating expense. The savings was immense!Talk about the spread between diesel fuel and CNG and where you think the Break Even Point is.Fleet Experience Drivers have easily adapted to the new trucks and fuelNo possibility for diesel spills Fill Time was crucialUS Oil/GAIN dispenses at 8 – 10 gallons/minute US Oil/GAIN handles all fuel transactions in house
Far less volatility given commodity is small % of total.
Economics from the Fleet Owner:Give a high level explanation on the economics used in making your decision.At 6.5mpg on diesel and 5mpg on CNG and a $2.00/gallon spread, the fuel savings alone is $0.22/mileAssumed 2,500 miles/week or 125,000 miles/year Cost Difference of Truck: Diesel = $110,000 CNG = $150,000 ($165,000 with Extra Tank)
This is a significant project, with many stakeholders – you need solid partners…Having a Strategic Partner is KeyWhy did JVT choose to partner with US Oil? Trading and fuel supply expertiseUnderstanding of market structure of ULSD and Natural GasAbility to lock in fuel cost – Guaranteed savings per mileProject Management experience with US Petroleum Equipment Division
Next steps – continue to offer more of the same.
3 year strategic plan – minimum of 30 sites
Next Steps: Understand your business to provide a formal quote detailing savings. Fleet details (trucks, gallons, logistics/timing), current infrastructure, ideal pricing methods, other businesses nearby.In General: We’re looking for 400k gallons/yr + to offer $2.00/gal
Huge savings available - either tremendous competitive advantage, or you’ll wonder why you’re losing…
