Gas Alliance - Traditional CNG Station design - Standards There are no UK, European or International standards for CNG stations! UK have a withdrawn standard (but can still be referenced)... The Institution of Gas Engineers Utilization Procedures: IGE/UP/5 Pt 1 Design & Installation of Filling Stations IGE/UP/5 Pt 3 Filling Station Operations IGE/UP/5 Pt 2-4 Vehicle Fuel Systems & Operations Europe has a draft standard.. CEN TC 326 (pren 13638) NGV Filling Stations And Germany has VdTUV510 Guideline for planning, construction, installation, testing, start-up and operation of Natural Gas fuelling stations Auth: nick.harbord@gasalliance.eu Slide 14

Gas Alliance - Traditional CNG Station design Slow-fill (time-fill) CNG station (grid supply) Gas Meter CNG Compressor Vehicle dispenser Gas Mains Ideal for small fleets, depot based operations (overnight parking), and large bus fleets. Not suitable for public access stations. Auth: nick.harbord@gasalliance.eu Slide 14

Gas Alliance - Traditional CNG Station design Fast-fill CNG station (grid supply) Gas Meter CNG Compressor Storage Cascade Vehicle Dispenser Gas Mains Ideal for larger fleets, depot based operations or public access stations. Typically used with a Fuel Management system. Auth: nick.harbord@gasalliance.eu Slide 14

Gas Alliance - Traditional CNG Station costs Fast-fill CNG station (grid supply) - Costs Small CNG Station: 5 buses or 20 vans (500 scm/day) Capex cost (including basic civils and utility supplies) = 115,000 Cost per scm/hr = 2,300 per scm/hr Medium CNG Station: 20 buses or 80 vans (2000 scm/day) Capex cost (including basic civils and utility supplies) = 245,000 Cost per scm/hr = 1,225 per scm/hr Large CNG Station: 50 buses or 200 vans (5000 scm/day) Capex cost (including basic civils and utility supplies) = 345,000 Cost per scm/hr = 690 per scm/hr Expect to see 10-30% net fuel saving over project life.

Gas Alliance - Summary Summary Traditional grid CNG station: Design, installation and costs great idea and available now, then switch to Biomethane through the grid once more AD and Sewage plants come on-line and start injecting in the grid. Biomethane opportunities: Biogas production, Gas clean-up and grid injection cost effective use of renewable gas leading to a perfect circle of waste production and energy use Future transport fuel is biomethane from renewable biogas supplied through the grid and accessed at point of use Auth: nick.harbord@gasalliance.eu Slide 16
