Piedmont & Coastal NC Clean Communities became an apprentice coalition in late January 2024 as part of the U.S. Department of Energy’s Clean Cities and Communities program. This coalition is housed at the Center, which is a state-designated lead regional organization in North Carolina that presently serves 57 counties across the state.
The use of fuels such as biodiesel, electricity, ethanol, natural gas, propane and other clean transportation technologies can help to reduce emissions, cut down on fuel consumption and even save money. Other technologies can also improve efficiency, reduce emissions, and save in fuel costs. Our staff is helping to diversify fuel supplies and support cleaner, more vibrant local and state economies. The end result – cleaner air and greater energy security.
