The U.S. Department of energy has handed out $1.6 million to the Alternative Fuel Trade Alliance… a group made up of the Renewable Fuels Association, the National Biodiesel Foundation, the Propane Education & Research Council, the Clean Vehicle Education Foundation and ASG Renaissance… to boost efforts for a targeted educational plan aimed at Clean Cities Coordinators and related stakeholders.
This NBB release says the move is seen as vital to educating and training “Clean Cities Coordinators who are and will be at the forefront of communicating what our fuels and vehicle technologies mean as engines of economic growth and environmental sustainability.”Bob Dinneen, President and CEO of the Renewable Fuels Association, commented, “This DOE grant will supplement our individual and joint efforts to work with and train coordinators, stakeholders, and others at the national and regional level to enhance their knowledge and expertise on the latest developments and applications for alternative fuels and advanced vehicle technologies which include ethanol, biodiesel, propane, and natural gas fuels as well as hybrid/electric technologies and idle reduction strategies to improve fuel economy.”
Joe Jobe, CEO of the National Biodiesel Board, said “This program unites the mainstream alternative fuel organizations in working collaboratively towards a common goal: educating America on all aspects of alternative fuels, and increasing their use. This will benefit our air quality, our energy independence and our economy.”
According to the Alliance proposal, the grant funds will also be used to:
* Train coordinators as high-level public spokespeople;
* Increase awareness of sustainability as it pertains to the stated technologies;
* Increase the number of states that enforce fuel quality standards;
* Train key stakeholders on fire safety issues;
* Increase OEM technician/mechanic training and advanced technology acceptance;
* Provide a forum for students interested in alternative fuels on college campuses nationwide; and
* Increase the availability and consumption of domestic alternative fuels.
The Alliance will conduct more than 45 workshops, author a minimum of 20 educational pieces, and participate in a minimum of 64 collective independent stakeholder events. In addition, the group will manage two conferences and four press events to increase knowledge about alternative fuels and advanced vehicle technologies.

i am an African with a vision in also contributing in coming up with improved form of energy that will take care of the poor people in the world,especially the Africans,who have no choice than felling down trees for energy, thereby increasing global warming.
i have come up with a low energy consuming bulb set-up which i believe will reduce energy consumption,and help us to manage the energy resources that we have.
i also have a plan in coming up with a set-up that uses low wind speed to produce energy that can be used in homes and why not in cities,and will also help in running electric cars.
i have so many projects, but need funding, as an African, can my projects be sponsored?
