Energy independence in action


(Des Moines, IA) – The Iowa Clean Cities Coalition launched a new website today, focused on providing information about clean transportation technologies. The Coalition’s website provides up-to-date information on alternative fuels and vehicles, fuel economy, hybrids, and idle reduction technologies.

This website will also provide a forum for joint action in working toward the common goals of reducing petroleum consumption and vehicles emissions. Engaging community and business leaders in partnerships across the state is a common goal shared by the Iowa Clean Cities Coalition and its federal partner the U.S. Department of Energy.

“With this new website, we will be able to provide the information necessary for Iowans to help reduce dependence on petroleum-based fuels, said Brian Crowe, Iowa Clean Cities Coordinator. “In addition, by increasing the use of biofuels, Iowans can help support a large part of Iowa’s economy and help decrease carbon emissions.”

The Iowa Clean Cities Coalition website will include a variety of information, ranging from weekly fuel prices to funding opportunities at the state and federal level. The website will also provide a new tool that offers Iowans the ability to program biofuels locations into select GPS systems.

The Iowa Clean Cities Coalition (ICCC) was designated by the United States Department of Energy on October 15th, 2005. The ICCC builds strong, self-sustaining partnerships with industry, stakeholders, fleets, fuel suppliers, and business partners with the goal of decreasing petroleum use. The program focuses on alternative fuels and alternative fuel vehicles, hybrid electric vehicles, fuel blends, heavy-truck idle reduction applications, and general fuel economy improvements to help reduce the nation's need for imported oil.
