“Compressed Natural Gas (CNG) Fueling Systems – Integrating Alternative Fuels on NJ’s Brownfield's” Chuck Feinberg - Greener By Design Michael Sylvester – Betts Environmental & Alternative Fuel Services
2
Presentation Overview: Natural Gas and NJ’s Alternative Fuel Market CNG Fueling Systems and Benefits Integrating CNG on NJ Brownfield’s
3
Natural Gas Electricity Biodiesel Ethanol Hydrogen Propane Heavy Duty-Trucks School & Transit Buses Light-Duty Vehicles Electric Vehicles Overview of Natural Gas and NJ’s Alternative Fuel Market Alternative FuelsAlternative Vehicles
4
Federal Natural Gas Bill (Pending) NJ Clean Cities Coalition NJ Currently Has Several Natural Gas & Alternative Fuel Bills Pending Market is Trending Towards Alternative Fuels; Government Incentives Can Accelerate Progress Overview of Natural Gas and NJ’s Alternative Fuel Market Current Status of Legislation and Incentives

Why Natural Gas for Transportation? Cleaner Natural gas is inherently clean - cleanest burning fuel available for HDV’s NG (CH4); Diesel (C14H30); Gasoline (C8H18); Propane (C3H8) Reduces GHG emissions by 23% compared to diesel Replacing one diesel garbage truck with one that operates on natural gas has the same emissions benefits as taking 325 cars off the road Significant noise reductions – 90% quieter Cheaper Natural Gas is significantly less expensive than diesel on a per gallon basis - save $1.50-$2.00 per gallon compared to diesel Domestic 98% Domestically Produced 120+ Years of Domestic Reserves Works - Proven Technology Variety of light-, medium- and heavy-duty NGVs are available with performance and reliability equal to and/or exceeding that of comparable gasoline and diesel vehicles. More models to come.

Compressed Natural Gas (CNG) Stored in onboard tanks under high pressure Fuel economy similar to gasoline 1 GGE = 5.7 lb CNG Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) Kept at cold temperatures Stored in double-wall, vacuum-insulated pressure vessels Heavy-duty vehicles 1 GGE = 1.5 gal LNG Basics: CNG and LNG

CNG Fueling – One size does not fit all! Many options are available for fueling infrastructure: Ownership business models Siting Equipment options
9
Fleet-Owned and -Operated Fleet works with vendors on station development Fleet owns and operates station Outsourced to Independent Provider Outside development, ownership, and operation Fleet provides demand threshold Long-term price agreement Public access possible Fleet-Owned, Contractor-Operated Reduces fleet risk Fleet relies on experienced operator Usually a 5-7 year contract Station Business Models
10
Offsite, Public Access Utilize an existing public station Operated by retailer, utility, or fleet Anchor fleet or pool of multiple fleets Onsite, Private Access Exclusive use by fleets Time-fill stations always private access Onsite, Public Access Benefit from economy of scale Promotes public use of NGVs Must have fast-fill capabilities for public Fueling Station Options for Fleets
11
Time-Fill Fueling Good for “return-to-base” fleets with consistent schedules CNG is dispensed slowly, often overnight Lower capital and operating costs Fast-Fill Fueling Fueling takes place in minutes Necessary for public-access stations Good for vehicles with little downtime Combo-Fill Fueling Time-fill and fast-fill More flexibility in fueling CNG Fueling
12
Some Questions to Ask How many vehicles will be fueled each day? How much fuel will each vehicle need? When and how often will vehicles need to be fueled? What are the site development requirements? Are there potential issues with site-specific gas pressure or quality? Getting Started
13
Flexible Size; 2+ Acres Majority of Construction is Above Ground Great Reuse for Capped Sites Major and Secondary Trucking Routes Port Newark Related Activities; Major Fleet Locations Infrastructure / Electrical / Natural Gas Utilities Integrating CNG on NJ Brownfield’s
