Presentation Overview:
 Natural Gas and NJ’s Alternative Fuel Market
 CNG Fueling Systems and Benefits
 Integrating CNG on NJ Brownfield’s
Overview of Natural Gas and NJ’s
Alternative Fuel Market
Alternative Fuels
Alternative Vehicles
 Natural Gas
 Heavy Duty-Trucks
 Electricity
 School & Transit Buses
 Biodiesel
 Light-Duty Vehicles
 Ethanol
 Electric Vehicles
 Hydrogen
 Propane
Overview of Natural Gas and NJ’s
Alternative Fuel Market
Current Status of Legislation and Incentives
 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
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.
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
Natural Gas Vehicles Available Today

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