  3. Natural Gas in the Transportation IndustryFrom Natural Gas Supplier to Energy Expert GazMétroTransport Solutions: a fully owned subsidiary of Gaz Métro dedicated to the natural gas use in the transport sector

  4. Freight Transport: A Significant Source of Green House Gases including 10%for class 8 trucks Québec inventory of greenhouse gas emissions in 2008 and their evolution since 1990.Source: MDDEP

  5. Transport Robert and Blue Road Project • 180 trucks • Boucherville station completed • Mississauga station completed • Lévis opened with mobile unit (permanent site in Summer 2013) • Cornwall open with a mobile for spring 2013 (permanent summer 2013)

  6. Anticipated expansion of our LNG network in Eastern Canada

  7. Highlights • Transportation sector is one of the rare significant development opportunities for natural gas. • Technology is there • Government support is now available • The competitive context is good. • Gaz Métro Transport Solutions (GMTS) was created in the summer of 2010 to develop this opportunity. • Efforts are presently concentrated on completing a foundation project: supplying 180 trucks with LNG at Transport Robert. • The ship and rail transportation sectors are also being developed. • Compressed natural gas is also attracting an increased amount of interest.

  8. Targetedmarket segments • Heavy duty applications • Class 8 trucks • Ferries, ships • Locomotives

  9. WhatisLiquified Natural Gas (LNG) • Natural gasat-160°C (-260°F) in a liquidform • Density of 430 to 460 kg/m3 (600 times more than the gazeousform) • LNG isodorless, colorless, non-toxic and non-corrosif • Once mixed with air, the flammability ratio isbetween 5 and 15%

  10. Technologies • For trucking: • Westport technology • As energy effective as diesel engine • Produced in plant, manufacturer’s guarantee • Need to use liquefied natural gas (LNG) • Available for Class 8 trucks

  11. Technologies • For ships: • Technology available at Wärtsilä and Rolls Royce • For rail: • Technology being adapted by Westport, in collaboration with CN, EMD and GazMétro

  12. Technologies Designed and builtaccording to NFPA, CSA and TSSA Methane and flames detectors integrated in a complete control system Fuel control management completewithmagneticcardswith NIP Full remoteaccess

  13. EnvironmentalBenefits of LNG as a Fuel Transport & distribution Combustion Extraction Refining LNG (GX engine) Total on lifecycle of fuel Diesel • 25% reduction by simple diesel substitution • Close to 90% reduction by using biomethane Source: NRCanGHGenius Model 3.19. (S&T)2 Consultants Inc.

  14. Government support available • Programs: • CCA of 60% on new heavy trucks • Additonnal CCA of 85% on heavy trucks using LNG • Highway tax exemption (18.2 ¢ to 20.2 ¢) (Quebec) • Federal excise tax exemption (4 ¢) • MTQ program to reduce GHG (30% of cost overruns, max. $15,000 / vehicle, $200,000 per year (soon $1,000,000))

  15. Safety Codes and Standards for LNG Stations All stations are builtaccording to NFPA 52 LNG transferfromourLiquifying plant respect CSA Z276 Transportation fallsunder TC-338 (InsulatedHighway tank for gases as refrigeratedliquids) Respects all CSA and TSSA requirements

  16. OperationalSafety Fuel Distribution and Offloading Required PPE (cryogenicgloves and face shield) Specificsnozzles are usedwhich are not compatible withanyothers Fuel management system completewith NIP access Complete safetysystems and controlswihtin the station
