SECTION 2 – PROJECT SUMMARY
Provide a brief 1-2 page overview of your project.
2.1 PROJECT TYPE
Describe the type of project you are proposing, (Reconnaissance; Resource Assessment/
Feasibility Analysis/Conceptual Design; Final Design and Permitting; and/or Construction) as
well as the kind of renewable energy you intend to use. Refer to Section 1.5 of RFA.
Reconnaissance; Resource Assessment. Motor/crank case oil used as waste heater fuel and #
2 fuel.
2.2 PROJECT DESCRIPTION
Provide a one paragraph description of your project. At a minimum include the project location,
communities to be served, and who will be involved in the grant project.
Project will be located in the fishing ports of coastal Alaska. From Ketchikan to Dutch Harbor
we will be surveying the 20 larger communities involved in the fishing industry to catalog their
waste oil production, and where resources are presently used. That information will be shared
with state and local authorities to show potential as recyclable fuel and waste disposal. This oil
could be utilized as fuel in school buses, generators, garbage trucks, or as any #2 fuel.
2.3 PROJECT BUDGET OVERVIEW
Briefly discuss the amount of funds needed, the anticipated sources of funds, and the nature and source
of other contributions to the project. Include a project cost summary that includes an estimated total cost
through construction.
This project requires $116,625 of funds to complete Phase I. We anticipate that all of the funding will
come from Alaska's Renewable energy grant.
2.4 PROJECT BENEFIT
Briefly discuss the financial benefits that will result from this project, including an estimate of economic
benefits(such as reduced fuel costs) and a description of other benefits to the Alaskan public.
Hundreds of thousands of gallons of waste oil are generated by local fishing vessels alone.
Although deposited in state waste oil bins a very small percentage is used by local government.
Most is given away. The waste oil can be filtered and mixed with regular diesel to produce fuel
that is burnable in any diesel engines. Oil spill cleanup costs will be greatly reduced. There are
also clean waste oil burning furnaces that do not require any kind of mixture. Many of the
logistics for collection are already in place. Many communities pay to have this oil removed.
With no chain of custody in place, oils are given to local residents with no testing or training.
Pollutants from the oil are finding their way into the environment (ex. untested waste-oil used for
blacktop and burned in non UL approved equipment).
2.5 PROJECT COST AND BENEFIT SUMARY
Include a summary of your project’s total costs and benefits below.
2.5.1 Total Project Cost
(Including estimates through construction.)
$116,625
2.5.2 Grant Funds Requested in this application.$116,625
2.5.3 Other Funds to be provided (Project match)$0
2.5.4 Total Grant Costs (sum of 2.5.2 and 2.5.3)$116,625
2.5.5 Estimated Benefit (Savings)$1,000,000-2,000,000
annually
2.5.6 Public Benefit (If you can calculate the benefit in terms of
dollars please provide that number here and explain how

A website will be built to track and monitor project progress.
3.6 Project Risk
Discuss potential problems and how you would address them.
Many towns have been giving their waste oil to residents and businesses for years and it may
rock the boat to suggest otherwise. It may be corrected by showing them the potential of
recycling.
SECTION 4 – PROJECT DESCRIPTION AND TASKS
1 Tell us what the project is and how you will meet the requirements outlined in Section 2
of the RFA. The level of information will vary according to phase of the project you propose
to undertake with grant funds.
•2 If you are applying for grant funding for more than one phase of a project provide a plan
and grant budget for completion of each phase.
•3 If some work has already been completed on your project and you are requesting
funding for an advanced phase, submit information sufficient to demonstrate that the
preceding phases are satisfied and funding for an advanced phase is warranted.
4.1 Proposed Energy Resource
Describe the potential extent/amount of the energy resource that is available.
Discuss the pros and cons of your proposed energy resource vs. other alternatives that may be
available for the market to be served by your project.
Fishing vessels change their engine and generator oil every 200 hours and there are many thousands of
them. The port of Petersburg, AK alone at best estimations produces 10,000 gallons a year in a
community of 3,000 people. Dutch Harbor with large vessels and a large foreign fleet is most likely in the
hundreds of thousands. It is unknown what the state ferry system produces or where they dispose of their
oil. Companies like Petro Marine (fuel docks) also accept large quantities from vessels. There is also the
tourism industry with hundreds of cruise ships traveling Alaskan waters with waste oils on board. Not to
mention military and federal facilities. These are only estimates as to the best of our knowledge no
surveys have ever been done. There would be a 1:1 ratio of return on the filtered fuel.
4.2 Existing Energy System
4.2.1 Basic configuration of Existing Energy System
Briefly discuss the basic configuration of the existing energy system. Include information about
the number, size, age, efficiency, and type of generation.
Coastal communities are mostly remote and some are tethered to large power sources. These communities
use hydroelectric and diesel generators. We only wish to show the potential of recycling existing oils.
4.2.2 Existing Energy Resources Used
Briefly discuss your understanding of the existing energy resources. Include a brief discussion
of any impact the project may have on existing energy infrastructure and resources.
The existing energy resources are taken from hydroelectric plants and fossil fuels. There will be a positive
impact on oil usage because of the recycling process. It lightens the burden on heating budgets by 10%
and disposal costs are non existant, making communities more self sufficient, which in turn saves tax
payers dollars.
Some city shops and state garages are already heated by waste oil furnaces, but we feel it has not been
utilized to its fullest. In many cases a waste oil to energy conversion filter system may be utilized. All
diesel vehicles including dump trucks, garbage trucks, school buses, etc. could reduce their diesel
consumption by 10%.
4.2.3 Existing Energy Market
Discuss existing energy use and its market. Discuss impacts your project may have on energy
customers.
The only impacts from our project would be less sales of oil from the local oil companies. Residents and
businesses that have been receiving free oil would have to budget their own funds. The communities
would be able to reuse the waste oil at a benefit of $4.00+ a gallon for every gallon recycled. It would
ease the strain on local electric sources.
4.3 Proposed System
Include information necessary to describe the system you are intending to develop and address
potential system design, land ownership, permits, and environmental issues.
n/a
4.3.1 System Design

4.4.4 Cost Worksheet
Complete the cost worksheet form which provides summary information that will be considered
in evaluating the project.
Download the form, complete it, and submit it as an attachment. Document any conditions or
sources your numbers are based on here.
4.4.5 Business Plan
Discuss your plan for operating the completed project so that it will be sustainable. Include at a
minimum proposed business structure(s) and concepts that may be considered.
We will send findings to local communities and state officials as to their waste oil
production and recyclable fuel potential.
4.4.6 Analysis and Recommendations
Provide information about the economic analysis and the proposed project. Discuss your
recommendation for additional project development work.
At the present high cost of fuel oil and diesel, state and local authorities are using much of
their budget toward heating and energy costs. This proposal would analyze existing
potential and future benefits.
SECTION 5– PROJECT BENEFIT
Explain the economic and public benefits of your project. Include direct cost savings,
and how the people of Alaska will benefit from the project.

RCA tariff, or avoided cost of ownership)
•3 Potential additional annual incentives (i.e. tax credits)
•4 Potential additional annual revenue streams (i.e. green tag sales or other renewable
energy subsidies or programs that might be available)
•5•5•5•5 Discuss the non-economic public benefits to Alaskans over the lifetime of the project
1. 250,000-500,000 gallons of diesel annually. At $4.00 per gallon $1,000,000-$2,000,000
annually.
2. $1,000,000-$2,000,000 annually plus existing disposal costs. Reduction in possible oil spill
cleanups.
3. savings can be used to ease the budget.
4. n/a
5. There is no existing chain of custody for waste oil in the state of Alaska. Much of this oil is
deposited in state and local receptacles. Much of this oil finds its way into the hands of local
residents who are untrained and unsupervised in pollution prevention and cleanup. The state does
not know if the waste oil is being used in UL approved equipment.
