| 10:30 - 12:00 | Session 1: Efficiency in the Waste Land: Why Biogas Is Emerging as a Promising Alternative Fuel Biogas holds great promise as an emerging transportation fuel. It can be used in light- and heavy-duty vehicles and is touted by some as a pathway to hydrogen. Sewage treatment plants and landfills are two sources that are gaining momentum in the United States. This session looks at the environmental and cost benefits, as well as some of the current innovations that will result in biogas as a new alternative fuel option.

| 10:30 - 12:00 | Session 2: All Charged Up: The Vibrant Marketplace for Heavy-Duty (HD) Plug-in Hybrids “If you build it, they will come” is not the mantra of many in the heavy-duty plug-in community. Alternatively, “if you’ll purchase it, they will build” is an approach that is getting the vehicles and technologies into fleets. An assessment of the environmental benefits as well as the technology viability allows for a compelling story of the business case that can be made for HD plug-in hybrids. Industry experts share their strategies on how to both fund the vehicles and maximize the potential payback.

| 10:30 - 12:00 | Session 3: Money Talks: The Business of Alternative Fuels and Vehicles for Policymakers Methods exist today to cut the transportation budget for city or state fleets, provide fueling infrastructure that could be used by the public, and lock in a fuel contract to ward against price fluctuations. You’ll walk away with a clear explanation of the opportunity; the experiences of other cities and states that are using alternative fuels; the various choices available to you; how fleet managers fund their operations; and the pitfalls to avoid to ensure success.

| 2:00 - 3:30 | Session 1: Fuelproof: Private Sector Infrastructure Innovation Market innovators are increasingly finding creative ways to overcome fuel infrastructure challenges. Home refueling for natural gas vehicles, called Phill, is on the market now. Government investment in ethanol infrastructure is at an all time high. Private businesses are committing to making alternative fuels available at their retail gas stations. Experts look at available and near market ready options for fueling AFVs.

| 2:00 - 3:30 | Session 2: Import Matters: How Sweden Is Ending Its Dependence on Foreign Oil Sweden’s alternative fuel and energy planning demonstrates how a variety of fuels and technologies can work together to manage fuel supply and minimize environmental impacts. They’ve done this in part through their emphasis on the development of biogas and bioethanol fuel stocks combined with promotion of the most efficient hybrid and standard internal combustion engines that can accept these fuels.

| 2:00 - 3:30 | Session 3: Stemming the Tide: Fuel Policy Solutions for Cleaning up Ports Economic growth around ports and the resulting air pollution has focused the attention of many policymakers on how to clean it up. From Washington and Vancouver to New York and New Jersey, plans to stem the rise of smog-forming emissions from the ports’ trains, ships, cargo conveyors and trucks are underway. Those in the thick of it outline the problem, the risks and the fuel solutions that are defining future strategies.

| 2:00 - 3:30 | Session 4: Creative Outlets: The Electric Promise of Plug-in Hybrids Eighty percent of the driving needs of the American public could be met by plug-in hybrid electric vehicles (PHEVs), capable of going 50 miles per day. Pronouncements like that one from the U.S. Department of Transportation have everyone from utilities to electric vehicle enthusiasts touting the technology as the panacea to America’s oil dependence and vehicle emissions challenges. Experts share what needs to happen to make PHEVs commercially viable.
