  1. Passaic County Green Building Design and Energy “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. Overview of Natural Gas and NJ’s Alternative Fuel Market • Natural Gas • Electricity • Biodiesel • Ethanol • Hydrogen • Propane • Heavy Duty-Trucks • School & Transit Buses • Light-Duty Vehicles • Electric Vehicles Alternative Fuels Alternative Vehicles

  4. Overview of Natural Gas and NJ’s Alternative Fuel Market • 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 Current Status of Legislation and Incentives

  5. 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.

  6. Basics: CNG and LNG 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

  7. Natural Gas Vehicles Available Today

  8. CNG Fueling – One size does not fit all! Many options are available for fueling infrastructure: • Ownership business models • Siting • Equipment options

  9. Station Business Models 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

  10. Fueling Station Options for Fleets 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

  11. CNG Fueling 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

  12. Getting Started 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?

  13. Integrating CNG on NJ Brownfield’s • 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
