OSTI ID:10167968

The purpose of this technical report is to compare the altemative-fuel fleet requirements of the Administration`s National Energy Strategy (NES) with the alternative-fuel fleet requirements of S. 2166 (National Energy Security Act of 1992) and H.R. 776 (Comprehensive National Energy Policy Act). This comparison covers differences in oil displacement potential, cost of oil displacement, alternative-fuel vehicle (AFV) annual purchases, and number of AFV`s in operation by the year 201 0. This technical report is intended to provide perspective on the abilities of the NES, S. 2166, and H.R. 776 to help increase the use of alternative fuels in the US transportation sector, reduce dependence on petroleum, and enhance environmental quality. The estimates contained herein are reflective of S. 2166 as passed by the Senate on February 19, 1992, and H.R. 776 as reported by the House Energy and Commerce Committee on March 30, 1992.
