Abstract:

An overreliance on foreign oil and the negative impacts of using petroleum fuels on the world’s climate have prompted energy policies that support the diversification of transport fuels and aggressive work to transition to non-petroleum options. There are strengths and drawbacks to each type of alternative fuel, but overall, in comparison to petroleum-based fuels, alternative fuels advance a stronger local economy and reduce our collective impact on the environment. Supported by public policy and advanced developments in technology, the U.S. is rapidly changing the landscape of how fuels are produced and used in vehicles. As we continue to adjust to and improve technologies related to alternative fuel use, we will have to adjust how our workforce responds to new fuel production, infrastructure build-out, vehicle and infrastructure maintenance, fueling, and vehicle operations.
