Kentucky Clean Fuels Coalition - About Us

The Kentucky Clean Fuels Coalition was established in 1993 to provide the first alternative fuels resource for Kentucky educators, consumers and providers of alternative fuels/vehicles. It is now a successful non-profit 501C3 self-supporting organization and a national leader in the clean fuels market.

Mission

The mission of the Kentucky Clean Fuels Coalition (KCFC) is to link providers and users of fuels across Kentucky to the best information and education available about clean energy technologies. We carry out that mission by building partnerships between providers and users of fuel, and by raising awareness about the benefits of using those technologies.

Our primary focus is on incorporating alternative fuels and advanced technologies into individual industry requirements, while committing to air quality and environmental stewardship.

As a non-profit entity, KCFC provides a balanced source for developing partnerships and a realistic market approach to project implementation.

Leadership

KCFC is administered by its Executive Director, Melissa Howell, and governed by a Board of Directors. Howell has lead the KCFC to become one of the top ten Clean Cities partners in the nation. She has also been the recipient of the Outstanding Clean Cities Coordinator Award, Governors' Environmental Excellence Award, the Environmental Leadership Award with Mammoth Cave National Park, and many others.

Commonwealth Clean Cities Partnership

In the fall of 1994, the U.S. Department of Energy designated the KCFC as a Clean Cities partner. Clean Cities strives to advance the nation's economic, environmental, and energy security by supporting local decisions to adopt practices that contribute to the reduction of petroleum consumption. Clean Cities has a network of approximately 90 volunteer coalitions, which develop public/private partnerships to promote alternative fuels and advanced vehicles, fuel blends, fuel economy, hybrid vehicles, and idle reduction. Clean Cities is part of the Office of Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy's Vehicle Technologies Program.
