The Honorable, The Legislature:
As required by s.16.045(5) Wis. Stats., I am submitting the annual Wisconsin Biofuels and Alternative Fuel Use Report for distribution to the appropriate standing committees. I am pleased to provide the following highlights for 2007.
State of Wisconsin government highlights:
* In FY2008, 95 percent of the contracted gasoline deliveries by the state of Wisconsin were a blend of 10 percent ethanol.
* Per Governor Doyle's Executive Order #141, the Office of Energy Independence began outreach on E85 fuel use in the state fleet, biodiesel outreach will follow this summer.
* State government and UW campuses used 29,442 gallons of E85, a 63 percent improvement from last year. This provides the benchmark for reduction of state-fleet petroleum-based gasoline consumption.
* 26 percent, or 1,790 vehicles, of the state fleet are E85 flexible-fuel vehicles.
State statistics:
* Ethanol use in the State of Wisconsin increased by 19 percent in 2007, from 130 million gallons in 2006 to 161 million gallons in 2007.
* Ethanol production in the state increased by 34 percent from 210.4 million gallons in 2006 to 283.8 million gallons in 2007.
* E85 refueling facilities serving the public increased from 60 to 89 statewide.
* Statewide consumption of E85 increased by 56 percent, from 2.7 million in 2006 to 4.8 million gallons in 2007.
The Office of Energy Independence looks forward to advancing the use of alternative fuels in the state. The Office of Energy Independence plans to address these goals in the upcoming year:
S831
*
Continued effort to meet Executive Order #141: reduce the use of petroleum-based gasoline in state-owned vehicles by 20 percent by 2010 and by 50 percent by 2015, and reduce the use of petroleum-based diesel fuel by those vehicles 10 percent by 2010 and 25 percent by 2015.
* Increase the number of E85 and biodiesel pumps in the state-a critical priority.
