This report draws on the wealth of information housed in the U.S. Department of Energy¿s Alternative Fuels Data Center at the National Renewable Energy Laboratory. Trends and analyses are examined from data as far back as 1991. The findings of those trends and salient features are summarized. Contents: Light Duty Original Manufacturer Vehicle Offerings; Fueling Station Analysis; State and Federal Laws and Incentives; The Clean Cities Program; The National Alternative Fuels and Clean Cities Hotlines; Final Remarks; Appendices. Illustrations.

The objectives of this report are to: 1. Document the development of the alternative fuels industry as reflected in the U.S. Department of Energy's (DOE) Alternative Fuels Data Center (AFDC). 2. Analyze information and trends from the AFDC that may prove valuable in understanding past perspectives that could help advance the current and newly emerging technology market. The prime indicators of growth, interest, and emphasis in the alternative fuels industry can be found by exploring historical trends as reflected in OEM vehicle model data and AFV fueling station growth and decline.

Covers things from major oil companies to electric and gas utilities, plus pipelines, refiners, retailers, oil field services and engineering. This title includes topics such as coal, natural gas and LNG. It includes statistical tables that cover topics ranging from energy consumption, production and reserves to imports, exports and prices.

The report and the TravelMatters website (developed as part of this project) are designed to present information on climate change and to examine how greenhouse gas emissions from transportation may be reduced. Both the print and web-based research products review the capacity of public transportation to mitigate greenhouse gas emissions and present this information in a format accessible to transportation professionals and the general public. Key strategies for reducing transportation emissions--increasing the use of transit, changing land-use patterns, and adopting energy-efficient technologies and fuels in transit fleets--are discussed.

This book discusses recent research and applications in intelligent service computing in mobile environments. The authors first explain how advances in artificial intelligence and big data have allowed for an array of intelligent services with complex and diverse applications. They then show how this brings new opportunities and challenges for service computing. The book, made up of contributions from academic and industry, aims to present advances in intelligent services, new algorithms and techniques in the field, foundational theory and systems, as well as practical real-life applications. Some of the topics discussed include cognition, modeling, description and verification for intelligent services; discovery, recommendation and selection for intelligent services; formal verification, testing and inspection for intelligent services; and composition and cooperation methods for intelligent services.

The energy industry is boiling over with changes. This title offers a reference tool to the energy industry that covers various things from major oil companies to independents, utilities, pipelines, coal, LNG, oil field services, and refiners. It includes over a dozen statistical tables and profiles of The Energy 500 Firms.
