1 Marcogas General Assembly, Prague, 4 June, 2014 LNG fuelling in Europe a growing opportunity for gas industry Vaclav Chrz, vaclav.chrz@chartindustries.com Chart Ferox, a.s. ferox.com member of NGVA Europe, Czech Gas Association, Czech Industrial Gas Association,IGU PGC D LNG, Marcogas WG LNG

2 LNG direct distribution to end users the boom started in Europe by 21st century Number of satellite stations more than 1000 (inlcuding Turkey) Supplied by trucks, ISO containers and small sea cariers Around 1 billion (10 9 ) Sm3/year Combined system Skangass, Oera, Norway 6400 m3 total tanks gross volume, supplied by a 6000 m3 LNG carrier for Re gasification to local pipelines Road distribution by trailers Ship fueling

3 Advanced LNG chain ISO container Ocean LNG carrier Pipeline Receiving terminal Rail car Small liquefier stranded gas, biogas or from pipeline Vehicle fueling station

4 Overlapping of pipeline and Small LNG systems SEA PORT LNG LNG storage tanks LNG LNG Filling trailers or rail cars SHORE Vaporization 2% gas consumption Pipeline gas 50 bar LNG virtual pipeline (trailers) Re compression 40 bar 50 bar 150 km LNG 20 bar Direct distribution of LNG additional 20% market segment 3 bar

5 LNG in vehicle fuelling Europe 2013 transition from pilot projects to full scale reality The growth of new L NGV registrations is estimated up to 500 units/year in Europe. Clean Air Power / Volvo, Rolande / IVECO, and other projects have been well documented within the NGV press. Estimate of gas consumption for 1000 vehicles by the end of 2014: 73 million Sm3/year Still low compared to CNG vehicles, but rapid growth can be expected as result of economical and environmental pressure and facilitated by growing infrastructure and LNG supply.

6 LNG trucks and busses in USA USA started 1993, Chart technology 7000 vehicles 70 public LNG filling stations, 80 new in 2013 Map of LNG filling stations Forecast: 30% trucks on LNG in 2020 (mostly long distance transportation)

7 Australia Australia started 2004, Chart technology. 250 LNG trucks in operation Map of LNG filling stations forecast: 5000 LNG trucks soon a truck with three 500 liter fuel tanks 2000 km autonomy

12 Standards for LNG fuelled transport ISO LNG vehicle fuel tanks valid standard since 2012 ISO Components of LNG vehicle fuel systems (TC22/SC25/WG2) ready for adoption 2014 ISO LNG fuelling connector (TC22/SC25/WG2) on the last ballot, adoption expected 2014 ISO/DIS LNG stations for fuelling vehicles (TC252/WG2) DIS sent for the ballot adoption expected 2015 UN ECE R110 with LNG ammendment Fuel systems of CNG and LNG vehicles adoption expected in July 2014

13 What is the optimum LNG station technology? A scalable range of stations, which allows gradual growth of the fueling system infrastructure. Mobile containerized stations pilot projects, low costs, fueling at several locations Movable skidded stations small projects, easy to install, easy to move to another location, easy approval Permanent full scale stations (still movable and extendable) large storage and fuelling capacity, distant control, customer and operator s comfort

14 Mobile containerized stations 20 Full function station with saturation of LNG, LNG pump, up to 150 liters/min, flowmeter, printer and fueling hose w connector. Automatic flow control. ISO container frame 20 volume 20 m3... up to 8500 kg LNG hydraulic oil drive from the truck......or with electricity from a local socket Possibility of additional ISO container with 8500 or kg LNG Chart Ferox for Gazprom, for LNG busses at Olsztyn, Poland, operation since 2013

15 Mobile containerized stations 40 Full function station with LNG pump, saturation of LNG, flowmeter, printer and fueling hose with connector Chart Ferox for Gascom, Germany, operation since 2013 ISO container frame 40 volume 43,5 m3... up to kg LNG Serves as a mobile fuelling station or an LNG delivery unit.

16 Movable skidded stations 30 or 60 m3 LNG storage ( or kg LNG) LNG automatic saturation, automatic pump control, MID dispenser, loading with tanker pump or with own pump, Container for control system and air compressor Chart Ferox for a customer in UK, operation 2014

17 Permanent full scale stations Full scale station with two pumps/two dispensers, 2 60 m3 (37 ton) cold and saturated LNG available, card pay system, GSM distant control Chart for Shell in Canada, operation 2013

18 LNG fueling infrastructurefrom pilot to full scale plants example: 50+ fuelings m3 Mobile 90+ fuelings fuelings 3 7 t/day Optimal fleets minimum size: Mobile LNG station trucks Movable LNG station 40 trucks Permanent LNG station 150 trucks These 3 stations can serve LNG for 210 to 320 trucks t/day m3 Movable m3 Mobile t/day 180+ fuelings 90+ fuelings 50+ fuelings x60 m3 Permanent station m3 Movable m3 Mobile

23 LCNG technology Fuelling of CNG cars from LNG tanks with highpressure pumps and vaporizers. Independence from pipelines. Low energy consumption on site Low CAPEX Helps to development of regular CNG fuelling opportunities

25 MARINE APPLICATIONS Drivers of ship LNG fuelling: Change of emmission limits eliminate heavy oil with high sulphur content. LNG seems to be a suitable economical and clean alternative. Emmission Control Areas: Baltic Sea, North Sea, Mediterraneum (Europe is surrounded with EPA s)... and other in the world. Effective Worldwide emmission limits: 2020 (both the deadlines may be postponed.)

26 MARINE APPLICATIONS LNG ferry re fueling station Halhjem, Norway ferry re fueling point Delivered by Chart Ferox in 2005 Two vacuum insulated tanks, m3 capacity Filling pump: 1700 liter/minute Station located in a recreation area

27 High speed ferry, operation 2013 Ship builder: Incat Australia for Buquebus South America LNG fuel system: Chart Ferox (delivered) Ferry line: across the mouth of the river La Plata Buenos Aires to Montevideo (200 km) Basic parameters: speed of 50 knots (93 km/h), carrying 1000 passengers and 153 cars. Nominal annual LNG consumption: 38 mil. Sm3 Vacuum insulated double wall fuel tanks: High impact strength. Excellent fire safety even in case of loss of vacuum and surrounding pool fire. Long holding time of LNG. Francisco

28 Conclusions LNG applications in onshore and marine transport are becoming an important development vector in gas industry and transportation. LNG technology for vehicle and ship fuelling is mature and reliable. Substitution of heavy oil, Diesel and gasoline by LNG brings reduction of CO2 emmissions and air polution. LNG has the best forecast of long time supply.
