About KCFC
Goals
The goal of the Kentucky Clean
Fuels Coalition, established in 1993, is to improve air quality and
support economic development across Kentucky by promoting the use of
clean fuels and educating about evolving technologies.
A 501c3 organization, the KCFC
is governed by a board of directors and officers. Membership is
composed of major auto manufacturers, equipment providers, private and
public fleet managers, government agencies, fuel providers and
universities.
KCFC manages the U.S. Department of
Energy’s Clean Cities Program and maintains tremendous national
recognition. Through a national network of 94 cities, the KCFC has
secured over $7 million dollars for clean fuel projects across the
Commonwealth.
KCFC’s goals are crucial to the
future of Kentucky because:
-
Vehicles and motorized
and stationary equipment operating on gasoline and diesel continue
to be major contributors to harmful ozone and particulate matter in
Kentucky’s air.
-
Clean fuels reduce
greenhouse gases such as carbon monoxide (CO), nitrogen oxide (NOx)
and volatile organic compounds (VOCs) that contribute to global
warming.
-
Kentucky has an
abundance of natural resources with which to produce clean fuels.
- Using clean fuels adds value to
Kentucky crops, provides additional business and industry growth,
and reduces our dependence on foreign oil.
