October 28, 2013 What is AFLEET Tool?
The Department of Energy's Clean Cities Program has enlisted the expertise of Argonne to develop a tool to examine both the environmental and economic costs and benefits
of alternative fuel and advanced vehicles. Argonne has developed the Alternative Fuel Life-Cycle Environmental and Economic Transportation (AFLEET) Tool for Clean
Cities stakeholders to estimate petroleum use, greenhouse gas emissions, air pollutant emissions, and cost of ownership of light-duty and heavy-duty vehicles using simple spreadsheet inputs.
The tool uses data from Argonne's R&D Greenhouse gases, Regulated Emissions, and Energy use in Technologies (GREET) fuel-cycle model to generate necessary well-to-wheels
petroleum use and GHG emission co-efficients for key fuel production pathways and vehicle types. In addition, Environmental Protection Agency's MOtor Vehicle Emission
Simulator (MOVES) and certification data are used to estimate tailpipe air pollutant emissions. Various sources are used to provide default cost data, including the Clean Cities
Alternative Fuel Price Report and American Recovery and Reinvestment Act awards.
