Clean Lane Fuel

Lane Clean Diesel Project

What is the Lane Clean Diesel Project?
The Lane Clean Diesel Project was born out of the need to establish a stable, reasonably priced supply of Ultra Low Sulfur Diesel and biodiesel in Lane County. Sponsored by LRAPA through an EPA grant, designated by Governor Ted Kulongoski as an Oregon Solutions project, headed by Lane Metro Partnership and staffed by Good Company, the project team has brought together more than 30 participants from the public and private sectors to work side-by-side to bring clean fuel to this community.

The project's Oregon Solutions designation assures governor support and assistance, and commitment to address at least one sustainable community objective as determined by the governor's Community Governance System. Specifically, this project encourages the use of cleaner, more sustainable fuels and gives recognition to entities who are making wise environmental choices for the future.

What are the Project Components?
Bulk Storage Tanks: Bulk Ultra Low Sulfur Diesel is now available in Eugene from two bulk distributors: The Jerry Brown Company and Tyree Oil. Both distributors have added bulk storage tanks at their distribution sites, providing a stable supply of clean diesel to the community, at a combined cost of more than $160,000 in private funds. EPA provided $15,000 to each provider to help offset the installation costs.

Oakridge Card Lock: The community of Oakridge will be able to benefit from clean fuels as well, due to a commitment from Ed Staub & Sons Petroleum Inc. to include Ultra Low Sulfur Diesel and biodiesel at its new card lock refueling station in the city of Oakridge. The project, which received funding help from the EPA, is expected to be completed by September.

Recognition Program: The team has developed a logo and Clean Lane Fuel trademark for use with this project. Fleets or individuals using the clean fuels will be authorized to use the Clean Lane Fuel logo on promotional materials, vehicles and workplaces. Recognition license plate frames and bumper stickers will be supplied to participants as well. The recognition program will be transferred to LRAPA to continue implementation at the completion of the project.
