The University of Tennessee and the U.S. DOE Clean Cities Program help make the ETCFC the best it can be.


ORNL has on the order of 80 FFVs (flex fuel vehicles -- vehicles that can run on any mix of two fuels), including about 10 they added this year. The remainder of the DOE-ORO fleet has about another 120-130 FFVs, while KUB currently (Nov. '05) has 24 but that number will grow over the next year.

Ethanol in East Tennessee


E85

There is now one public E85 station open in Knoxville! Click here to visit our refueling links page and find out about this station!

In East Tennessee, although there are many vehicles that are ready to use ethanol (as E85 -- 85% denatured ethanol and 15% gasoline) that are in the community, few use it. The fleets that do are Oak Ridge National Laboratory, the Oak Ridge Operations division of DOE and new regional user KUB.

ORNL E85 refueling station

The state fleet, with the help of Clean Cities of Middle Tennessee, installed a public E85 station in downtown Nashville mid-2004. The ETCFC is beginning to work with TDOT and TDEC to look at placing multiple E85 stations in East Tennessee, hopefully along the I-40/I-75/I-81 corridors. This placement would allow developing "clean corridors" for passers-through to fill-up with E85 at the same time it would allow state vehicles that move through East TN to fill-up. Additionally, those local or regional citizens that pass by that location could fill-up with E85 there.


E10

Through the leadership of Pilot Oil in Knoxville and Appalachian Oil in the Tri-Cities area, there are now about 45 public E10 stations in East Tennessee. Pilot Oil has 34 of their "Pilot" C-store stations that offer E10 in the low- and mid-grade gasoline while Appalachian Oil has 13 public stations in northeast Tennessee that offer E10. You can see the listings of those locations by visiting our "refueling locations" page.
