SUMMARY:September 25 2024 - Madison Fleet Tour - 12:30pm - 3pm
DESCRIPTION:Who: The Wisconsin Association of Energy Engineers (WAEE) invites you to join us at the City of Madison Fleet Building to learn about their EV Fleet! \nWhat: In March of 2017\, the City of Madison became the 25th city in North America to set a goal of achieving 100% renewable energy and zero-net carbon emissions for city operations by 2030. Integral to this mission is adopting cleaner fuel vehicles through out it’s municipal fleets. Madison began using an electric fire truck in 2021\, and recently unrolled a new “bus rapid transit” system utilizing 62 fully electric buses. \nOn September 17th\, 2024 the City announced two electric refuse trucks are joining the fleet; The very first fully electric class 8 garbage trucks in the state of Wisconsin! Collecting Trash may be messy business\, but these additions will be offering cleaner alternatives for our Capital City. These EV trucks are quieter than the current diesel powered models in use\, and produce no tailpipe emissions. Madison citizens will reap the rewards of improved air quality (which is shown to reduce heart disease and asthma rates)\, and quieter trash collection mornings. \nOn September 25th\, the public is welcome to tour the 110\,000 square foot headquarters for City of Madison Fleet. It is the first municipal auto garage in America to achieve LEED GOLD certification from US Green Business Council for its environmental features\, including 248 rooftop solar panels (with over 500 more being installed right now by the Madison Green Power program)\, solar EV charging\, a solar heating wall\, fleet EV charging\, public EV charging\, and employee EV charging. The City of Madison has installed over 1\,000 soybean oil tires and runs one of the largest fleet biodiesel programs in America. \nWhen: September 25\, 2024- 12:30pm to 3pm \nWhere: 151 Nakoosa Trail\, Madison Wisconsin \nAgenda: \n10:30am – WAEE board will meet at 10:30 at City of Madison Fleet. Anyone interested in learning more about WAEE is welcome to attend. The board is comprised of energy industry professionals who volunteer their time to promote education and awareness in the energy industry. \n12:00pm – Lunch \n12:30pm – Presentations \n2:00 pm – Tour \n3:00pm – Adjourn \nRegister Here \n\nEVENT RECAP\n\n\nWCC Welcomes Wisconsin’s First Electric Trash Trucks!\n\nOn September 25th City officials invited the public to tour and name the two new trucks. Suggestions poured in from around the capital.  Bryan Johnson\, Recycling Coordinator and Public Information Officer for the City Of Madison Streets Division\, allowed Wisconsin Clean Cities to host the tie breaking voting! 2\,546 Wisconsinites cast their ballots! \n                        What is the Blue Side Loading Electric Refuse Truck called?                                               What was the Gold Rear Loading Electric refuse Truck named? \n  \n\n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n\n  \n  \n  \n\n \n  \n\n \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \nThe tires Below are made of Soybean Oil! The use of soybean oil in tires provides increased performance by improving flexibility in lower temperatures and enhancing traction in rain and snow.  Using soybean oil also helps support American farmers. \n  \n \n  \n  \n \n \n  \nWCC Board Member Mahanth Joishy (left) Superintendent of the City of Madison Fleet Service pictures with WCC Director Fred Schnook (right) \n  \n \n

SUMMARY:October 29\, 2024 - WCC BioFuels Webinar - 10 am CST
DESCRIPTION:WHAT: A free Virtual Webinar on Biofuels presented by experts in their relative fields. There will be a brief overview as to the types of biofuels available\, why they are a cleaner alternative to standard petrol\, how to transition\, what the benefits are\, and the funding opportunities available to make a transition. There will also be an open questions & answers at the conclusion – take advantage of the opportunity to learn from these following brilliant leaders! \nWHO:  \nJoanne Ivancic\, Executive Director and Co-Founder of Advanced Bio Fuels USA.  Joanne graduated from George Washington University National Law Center\, after which her early working career specialized in health risk management for national corporations. She also worked for Senator Charles Grassley under his chairmanship of the Senate Special Committee on Aging. Later\, she served as a lobbyist for Atlantic Biomass Conversions\, Inc.\, promoting advanced biofuels research and production on Capitol Hill and with executive agencies. Joanne is a nationally known advocate for the development of advanced biofuels research and financing. Ms. Ivancic is licensed to practice law in Washington\, DC; Virginia; and Utah\, and is a trained mediator; however\, she prefers using this education and related skills to advocate for the adoption of advanced biofuels as an energy security\, economic development\, military flexibilty\, climate change mitigation and pollution control solution. Joanne will be giving attendees an overview of biofuels\, from key areas impacting renewable fuels to policy specific information. \n  \nRhea Courtney Bozic\, President of Cleans Fuels Consulting.  Rhea is an environmental scientist and green fleet consultant. She commissioned the fleet studies the city of Milwaukee used to help make the fleet plan it has been steadily implementing since 2019. Ms. Bozic is an expert in emissions and has been in the industry for 30 years\, as long as WCC has been established!   Rhea is considered a national sustainable transportation expert with experience in a variety of environmental areas\, including infrastructure development and siting of fueling and EV charging\, electric vehicle applications\, fleet studies for reduction of fuel use and greenhouse gases\, biofuels applications for biodiesel and E85\, fueling facility and biofuels storage terminal design and costing\, innovative fuel saving technologies and fleet efficiency consulting. She has a special passion for biofuels\, which she believes helps support clean air\, national energy independence and the American farmer. Rhea\, will be discussing biodiesel\, specifically why a fleet may want to use it and the basics of how to transition. \n  \n  \nBrian White\, Fleet Manager of the City of Milwaukee and WCC Board Member.  Brian is responsible for the overall management for the City of Milwaukee’s municipal fleet and fleet operations\, including a fleet dispatch section that schedules and deploys over 400 vehicles and operators on a daily basis. He has extensive experience administering asset management software\, as well as fuel management systems and alternative fuels. Brian is one of those rare types who knows all the ins and outs of transportation\, having begun his career as a mechanic after attending Wyoming Technical Institute in Laramie\, working his way up through the private sector.
