Fuels
This section provides data and information
on fuel supply and delivery infrastructure and on the use of
fuels for electricity generation, transportation, and heating.
| Data and information
generated by regional sustainability indicators projects
and through working group processes developed through
the Cape & Islands Sustainable Energy Stakeholder Committee
will be used as a basis for developing this section.

The fuels consumed for electricity generation, transportation,
and heating in the Cape & Islands region arrive by pipeline,
barge, ferry, and truck. This section will address where the
fuels come from, how they get here, how they are bought and
sold, how they are used, etc. Topics will likely include the
following:
Market & Policy Context
- Fuel policy
- Fuel portfolio
- Physical and market infrastructure for fuel oil, natural
gas, propane, gasoline, diesel, biodiesel, etc.
Electricity Generation
- Fuel sources - where does the oil, natural gas, coal,
diesel, trash, biomass, etc., used in Canal, SEMA ISO region,
and New England region come from
- Fuel consumption data by county and town, based on electricity
usage
- Other indicators: PV installations; wind proposals
Transportation
- Fuel mix - automobiles, trucks, boats, airplanes, public
transportation, etc.
- Fuel sources - where does the fuel come from
- Fuel consumption/cost data
- Economic impacts (capital flight)
- Other indicators: total vehicle registrations, SUVs
and hybrids, biodiesel vehicles, CNG vehicles, etc.
Heating/Other End Uses
- Fuel mix - gas, oil, diesel, kerosene, propane, etc.
- Fuel sources - where does it come from?
- Fuel consumption/cost data
- Economic impacts
- Other indicators: solar thermal systems, geothermal
systems, cogeneration systems
Fuel Efficiency Programs
- Cape Light Compact
- Keyspan
- Heating fuel dealers
- Others
