Abstract
The 2018-2019 Investment Plan Update for the Alternative and Renewable Fuel and Vehicle Technology Program guides the allocation of program funding for fiscal year 2018-2019. This 2018-2019 Investment Plan Update covers the tenth year of the program and reflects laws, executive orders, and policies to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, petroleum dependence, and criteria pollution emissions. It details how the California Energy Commission determines the goal-driven priorities of the program by incorporating input from stakeholders and the Alternative and Renewable Fuel and Vehicle Technology Program (ARFVTP) Advisory Committee and by analyzing project opportunities for funding. These priorities are consistent with the overall goal of the program “to develop and deploy innovative technologies that transform California’s fuel and vehicle types to help attain the state’s climate change policies.”
This 2018-2019 Investment Plan Update establishes recommended funding allocations based on the identified needs and opportunities of a variety of alternative fuels and vehicle technologies. As an update, the 2018-2019 Investment Plan Update relies on the narrative and analyses developed in previous investment plans, most recently the 2017-2018 Investment Plan Update.
This Energy Commission report represents the final step in developing the 2018-2019 Investment Plan Update, following the draft staff report, revised staff report, second revised staff report, and lead commissioner report that were published in November 2017, January 2018, March 2018, and April 2018. This report was adopted at the May 9, 2018, Energy Commission business meeting.
