22 NATURAL GAS A CLEAN, DOMESTIC, AFFORDABLE TRANSPORTATION FUEL

23 U.S. Energy Flow By Source and Sector TRANSPORTATION 27.0 Source U.S. Energy Information Administration, Annual Energy Review

24 Growing Global Oil Demand Is an American Disaster Waiting to Happen By 2020, the IEA predicts oil consumption will increase 60% During that time, China s consumption of oil will increase 7.5% each year; India will increase 5.5% each year Oil is predicted to be at least $200/bbl by 2030 To keep up with the demand, OPEC countries will have to add 64 million barrels of production per day for the next 22 years* This needed growth will require $350 billion per year on new projects OPEC only spent $390 billion on new projects from Source: International Energy Association, IEA October,

25 Natural Gas Vehicles Are a Clean Transportation Solution and the Most Efficiently Scalable Answer Natural gas vehicles, combined with Plug-In Hybrid Electric (PHEV) sedans, will support America s economy, environment, and energy security Natural gas is an ideal replacement for high-fuel consumers and polluting vehicles such as: Transit buses Refuse trucks Commercial fleets* Semi-trucks School buses Delivery vans PHEVS are only clean if powered by clean electricity All Current Natural Gas Vehicles 4

26 Natural Gas Vehicles Are An Answer to Americans Rising Fuel Prices $/mmbtu Price of Oil vs. Natural Gas $/bbl When NYMEX Mcf is $12.00, CNG will be priced at $2.50/gge When NYMEX Mcf is $8,00, CNG will be priced at$2.00/gge When NYMEX Mcf is $4.00, CNG will be priced at $1.50/gge This is why AT&T, UPS, Verizon, Waste Management, etc. are switching to natural gas they can save millions on fuel costs Source: Henry Hub CERA Reference Case (Feb 2010/ Briefing), IHS Global Insight WTI June 09, CERA, NYMEX (as of 4/4/10) / CNG is priced by gge (equivalent to a gallon of gasoline). 1 Mcf = 8 gge s of CNG. A gge is priced by $1.00 for Operating, Tax, Profit, and Compression + the Cost of the Commodity (Mcf/8). Even at $16 Mcf you ll have ~$3/gge fuel. 5

27 Each National Fleet Using Natural Gas Is An Economic and Clean Energy Stimulant Using AT&T s vehicle replacement program as an example: The impact of buying or converting 15,000 vehicles to cleaner technology over a 10-year period. Should reduce gasoline consumption by more than 49,000,000 gallons Trim carbon dioxide emissions by 211,000 metric tons the equivalent of removing more than 38,000 vehicles from the road for a year. In addition, the AT&T replacement program will help support an average of 1,000 vehicle manufacturing related jobs each year from Source: Center for Automotive Research

28 NGV Demand Potential is Extraordinary According to several research groups, there is approximately 6-12 Tcf of new, annual demand potential that exists by targeting high volume fleet applications. Wide variances exist due to the speed of economies of scale development. According to EIA: 6 Tcf of annual natural gas demand exists in current diesel consumer markets 15 Tcf of annual natural gas demand exists in current gasoline consumer markets 7

29 If Economies of Scales for NGV Are Supported, the Demand Growth is Significant 16 Natural Gas Demand Projections Power Transportation 14 Only focusing upon refuse trucks, 12 transit buses, school buses, commercial fleets, and semi-trucks; 10 the benefactors of NATGAS provisions = ~ 8-12 Tcf/year of new 8 demand The Top 55 Coal-fired Candidates Equivalent Demand 1.2 to 2.0 Tcf/year Transportation Power Source: ClearView Energy Partners

30 Why Haven t NGVs Been More Widely Accepted the Past 30 Years? Global vs Domestic Market 14 million+ vs. 130,000 Price of Petroleum Fuels/Need for Change Economies of Scale Strategic Growth in Fueling Confidence in Natural Gas Shales have unlocked the acceptance on supply abundance 9

31 The Domestic NGV Market Is Growing; You re Just Not Hearing About It Stations Are Being Built LNG and CNG Station Growth is Currently at 13% Regional Corridor Projects are Under Development Products Are Being Improved and Adopted by the OEMs Ford and GM providing OEM-support CNG vans Chrysler/Dodge to come out with 2012 Model Year CNG Bi-Fuel Dodge Ram G M currently tweaking final computer changes on CNG Silverado/GMC Sierra Chrysler working on bringing Fiat CNG sedans to the US market Heavy-duty y trucks are rolling into the market Westport Legislation Being Passed and Proposed at the State Level for NGV Incentives Legislation being filed in TX, PA, NM, WY, etc. Vhil Vehicle incentives exist itin OK, CO, GA, IL, LA, MT, OR, UT, and SC NGV infrastructure incentives exist in CA, LA, OK, MO, NJ, NY, and OR Cities and States Adopting NGVs in a Big Way Corporations Adding NGVs to Their Fleet 10

32 Light-Duty Vehicle RD&D Customers will want a more appealing vehicle concept from an OEM (currently only the Honda Civic is a consumer-focused vehicle produced from an automaker) Vehicle should command the attention and support of OEMs, policymakers and the public simultaneously Chrysler is moving fast on 2-3 models The US Natural Gas Industry will fund the RD&D process with 6 concepts on existing production models for 6 different automakers that also: a) assemble vehicles in the US, from 4 global regions (US, Japan, Europe, Korea) b) regionally diverse factory locations c) sympathetic or important policymakers in specific states d) high-volume and/or high appeal segments: 11

33 Detroit Can and Will Make a Natural Gas Light-Duty Truck America s natural gas industry is currently in discussions with the Big 3 US automakers about producing a natural gas light-duty truck US automakers only require the initial minimum commitment of annual sales to produce an OEM-supported vehicle The natural gas industry, using our corporate truck fleets, will be the catalyst for this initial commitment and partner with the OEMs to offer these commercial vehicles for: National Fleets Municipal/Public Works Federal and State Fleets Dept. of Defense Product #1 Is Available CNG Commercial Van! 12

34 Heavy-Duty RD&D Some characteristics of construction and mining equipment are conducive to the use of heavy-duty NGVs, including high fuel use and centralized fueling, and engine manufacturers have expressed interest in entering such markets with largedisplacement natural gas engines Equipment manufacturers need fuel sourcing education Demonstration Projects: Wyoming Mining Operations Kentucky Locomotive Research Key manufacturers and users are already considering this market LNG Mine Truck 13

35 Heavy-Duty RD&D Heavy-duty construction: equipment ranging in size from less than 50 horsepower to more than 1,000 horsepower despite the availability of natural gas engines in many common horsepower ranges used in construction equipment, few if any, natural gas options are currently available for construction equipment challenges/opportunities: 1) fuel tank integration and, 2) changing regions of operation Mining Equipment: engines range from 1,000 to 4,000 horsepower there is very limited availability of natural gas engines suitable for this market segment challenges/opportunities: high fuel consumption per vehicle and other use logistics make this niche attractive for engine and vehicle OEMs to consider for introduction of NGV offering Locomotives: recent focus has been on switcher locomotives that are used in urban rail yards to move freight cars these locomotives typically have 1,200 to 2,000 horsepower diesel generator set engines that power electric drive systems 14

47 We ve established a national network of natural gas partners 12+ million Americans working within the ANGA and AGA affiliated networks 26

48 How Can We Work Together in Pennsylvania? Utilize NGVs throughout our corporate fleets and operations and encourage the oil and gas sector companies to follow suit Strive for no less than 60% utilization across all vehicle fleets Increase natural gas utilization in our drilling rig fleets as a fuel using dedicated and dual fuel technology to no less than 25%. Indentify areas for natural gas utilization as a fuel in our service sector, i.e., hydraulic fracturing equipment, creating operating areas using natural gas throughout the value chain. Partner on public CNG and LNG stations Securing fuel contracts with current retailers or constructing our own and encouraging public access Support and encourage the auto industry to produce OEM supported CNG and LNG vehicles, particularly fleet vehicles Facilitate the creation of NGV corridors and NGV regional alliances. 27

49 The Global NGV Opportunity Expansion of global natural gas resources can further increase the dramatic growth in natural gas vehicles (NGV) worldwide Currently 12 million but expected to be 65 million by 2020 at current pace Growing world economies will continue to use natural gas vehicles and lessen their dependence on current imports of oil Global growth of natural gas vehicles will improve the opportunity for economies of scale to develop in the United States t Domestic economies of scale is the only impediment for US s widespread adoption of NGVs 28

50 Natural Gas Shales Create A Key Solution For Global Air Quality Expansive development of global gas shales will have a dramatic, positive impact on global air quality by enabling more low air polluting natural gas to reach energyconsumer markets Increased utilization of cleaner, abundant, affordable natural gas for power generation improves air quality Natural gas usage reduces emissions through underutilized combined-cycle power plants will dramatically reduce air emissions and increase health benefits Replacement of imported petroleum fuels with cleanburning natural gas in the transportation sector Global NGVs currently at 12 million; expected to be 65 million by 2020 Vehicle production and oil consumption growth is accelerating rapidly in developing world; proliferation of global shale gas will offer option for new vehicles to run on cleaner, cheaper natural gas 29
