New Brighton Climate Action Plan 2 -6 <br />CAP ACTIONS Strategy Action Transportation and Land Use <br />TL 5: Establish viable renewable diesel and/or biodiesel sources to serve munici- <br />pal operations by 2027. Achieve 50% municipal diesel consumption re- <br />placement by 2030. (Renewable fuels include hydrogen, renewable diesel, and <br />bio diesel derived from renewable energy processes). <br />TL 5- 1 Identify viable no/low diesel vehicle fuel alternatives, sources, and outlets for increasing no/low <br />emission fuel alternative availability and utilization. Study to include analysis of efflciency chain and <br />impact on land use and other communities. Study may include exploration of existing supply chains <br />as well as potential new sources such as through a locally operated biodiesel plant, renewable diesel <br />produced through renewable energy and electrolyzer plant, and plasma gasiflcation plant producing <br />hydrogen or renewable diesel. <br />TL 5- 2 Identify and engage partners to establish adequate bio and/or renewable diesel supply chain for <br />community. <br />TL 6: Reduce fossil fuel consumption of the municipal operations passenger vehi- <br />cle fleet 60% by 2030. <br />TL 6- 1 Conduct a Municipal Fleet Inventory and EV Transition Implementation Plan. Identify opportunities <br />for electrifying, right-sizing, and improving overall efflciency of vehicles to meet CAP Goals. Include <br />implementation recommendations to incorporate EV's through right-timing purchases with a <br />planned vehicle-replacement schedule. Study to include recommendations on: <br />• Emissions/Fuel Reductions <br />• Alternative Fuel Types <br />• Vehicle Type <br />• Pooling System <br />• Assess city diesel fieet and identify opportunities for conversion to Clean/Bio Diesel and opportu- <br />nities to leverage the EPA Midwest Clean Diesel Program Funding. Particular focus should be made <br />to convert all pre-2006 diesel engines <br /> <br />Goal, achieve a minimum 10% increase in fuel efflciency by 2030 where EVs are not available/ <br />TL 6- 2 Establish or expand an education and information and reminder campaign promoting the elimination <br />of vehicle idling within city fieet. <br />TL 6- 3 Establish a Sustainability Fund to cover additional capital costs to purchase greener equipment.
