98 After applying the evaluation framework discussed in this guidebook, readers are encouraged to proceed with the implementation process of alternative fuel distribution programs. Suggested next steps include the following: ⢠Thorough analysis of the regulatory aspects, including detailed descriptions of how the option complies with each applicable regulation and policy. ⢠Thorough analysis of the environmental aspects, including assessment of life-cycle GHG intensity as provided by the responsible external agency (e.g., EPA), or as developed follow- ing procedures provided by that agency. Similar analysis applies to environmental benefits associated with local air quality. ⢠Thorough analysis of the logistical aspects, including an end-to-end engineering plan quanti- tatively addressing each stage in the handling, storage, and distribution of the alternative fuel. ⢠Thorough analysis of the financial aspects, including an investment-quality business plan that specifies capitalization, revenue, costs, and risks at appropriate intervals over the lifetime of the program.
