    The Institute for the Analysis of Global
Security (IAGS) is a Washington based non-profit
public educational organization dedicated to
research and public debate on issues related to
energy security. IAGS seeks to promote public
awareness to the strong impact energy dependency
has on our economy and security and to the myriad
of technological and policy solutions that could
help us move into an era of energy independence,
and increase peace, prosperity and stability in
the world.   IAGS is not beholden to any industry
or political group. http//www.iags.org

Energy Security through fuel choice
6
Poor in oil, but rich in other domestic energy
resources

• With 25 of global coal reserves the U.S. is the
  Saudi Arabia of coal
• DOE estimates 2.45 billion metric tons a year of
  biomass are available for U.S. fuel production.
• In addition to the above solar, wind, hydro,
  geothermal, nuclear power are used to generate
  electricity

7
Flexible fuel vehicles (FFV)

• FFV's are designed to operate on alcohol
  (ethanol, methanol..), on gasoline, or on any
  mixture of the two.
• Nearly three million FFV's have been
  manufactured since 1996.
• The marginal cost of FFV is less than 150.

8
What is P-Series?

• a liquid, renewable, affordable, made-in-the-USA
  non-petroleum fuel formulated for flexible fuel
  vehicles (FFV's.)
• recognized by the U.S. DOE as an alternative fuel
  in 1999.

9
P-Series fuel is a blend of

• 35 liquid hydrocarbons derived from natural gas
  production.
• 45 ethanol.
• 20 MeTHF, an ether derived from biomass waste,
  which comprises 50-60 of the urban waste stream.

10
P-Series is clean and affordable

• The level of regulated and toxic emissions
  resulting from P-Series is significantly lower,
  and carbon dioxide emissions are reduced by 50,
  as compared to gasoline.
• The projected retail price for P-Series including
  all taxes is comparable to that of gasoline.
• P-Series pumps are very similar to gasoline
  pumps, and can be installed at existing fuel
  stations for about 60K.

11
P-Series solves 3 problems

• Municipal waste disposal poses a growing burden
  to taxpayers. Need to find higher value use of
  wet/mixed bio-organic wastes stream now going to
  landfills and incinerators.
• Urban emissions are detrimental to public health.
  
• Americas dependence on oil from unstable
  countries is increasing.

12
Its time to stop wasting our waste.
13
What is methanol?

• An alcohol fuel that can be produced from coal,
  natural gas, biomass
• Can be used to power FFVs
• A user friendly hydrogen-carrier fuel that can be
  used to power fuel cell vehicles

16
Plug-in Hybrid vehicles

• Hybrid vehicles with an added battery
• All electric range for a portion of the daily
  driving cycle
• Night time charging which significantly reduces
  fuel cost
• When the charge is used up, the car
  automatically keeps running on the fuel in the
  fuel tank
• Performance equal to what is expected from
  current vehicles

An alternative to the alternative FFV/Plug-in
hybrid

• If the two technologies are combined, such
  vehicles can be powered by any blend of alcohol
  fuels, gasoline, and electricity.
• If a plug-in vehicle is also a FFV fueled with
  80 alcohol and 20 gasoline, fuel economy could
  reach 500 miles per gallon of gasoline!
• If by 2025, all cars on the road are hybrids and
  half are plug-in hybrid vehicles, U.S. oil
  imports would drop by 8 million barrels per day
  (mbd). Today, the U.S. imports 10 mbd projected
  imports for 2025 are almost 20 mbd.
• Were all of these cars also flexible fuel
  vehicles, U.S. oil imports would drop by almost
  12 mbd.

If we dont change our course, well end up where
were headed.
