Mumbai – November 2010

Global Momentum

• Average growth (total numbers) since 2000 = 27% /annum

• Average of 4,000 new NGVs on the road per day (past 5 years)

• Average of 8 new NGV fuelling stations established per day (past 2 years)

• Vehicle growth on par with projections made in 2006, despite recession in 2009

• 65 million NGVs (approx. 9% of current world vehicle fleet size) projected by 2020

• A lot of takeover and merger activity - $200 million in one week in July. Indicates consolidation and maturity for the industry

Markets are Maturing

• Pakistan, Argentina, Iran and Brazil, all with more than 1.5 million NGVs each.

• India – Now more than 1 million NGVs

• Iran – 2 million NGVs

• Top ten nations account for 89% of total NGV population (10.096 million)

• Rate of growth in top four nations expected to slow (momentum increasing again in Argentina though)

• Mostly price sensitive markets

Projection

Energy Security

• Oil distribution– limited sources. Subject to price ‘management’ via supply

Energy Security

• Natural Gas distribution – more widely distributed. Almost impossible to manage price via supply

Energy Security

• Natural Gas distribution – more widely distributed. Almost impossible to manage price via supply

• OPEC has 77% of known oil reserves and thus controls world oil pricing.

• Russia has an additional 9.2% of oil reserves.

• This means more than 85% of world oil reserves are in the hands of only 13 countries.

Distribution of oil reserves (billion barrels)

Distribution of natural gas reserves (Trillion cubic metres)

Less concentration in Middle East.

More even distribution amongst other regions, including Asia- Pacific , where demand

will likely increase most in coming years.

With natural gas vehicles, OPEC will no longer have world economies ‘over a barrel’.

Industry SWOT

STRENGTHS

•Abundant gas supplies worldwide – highest

capability in alternative fuel segment

•Geographic distribution of NG

•Capability (i.e. range of vehicles and applications)

•Increasing product availability

•High safety standards

•Small scale LNG capabilities

WEAKNESSES

•Low infrastructure availability

•Fighting status quo of well established fuels

•Inadequate profile in media

•Low participation in NGV associations

OPPORTUNITIES

•Leverage biomethane in renewables sector

•More vigorous participation in commercial vehicle

segment

•Marine segment – massive fuel volumes

•Raise media profile

THREATS

•‘Other’ alternatives confusing market place

•Fickle Government policy

•Inconsistent treatment of methane as pollutant

•Safety short cuts

•Inadequate regulatory oversight

•Diminishing perception of environmental benefits

•Variable standards and regs across markets

•Strong lobbying efforts from status quo fuels

NGV Global Draft Strategic Plan

• Four Focus Areas– Safety

– Information and Awareness

– Standards and Regulations

– Advocacy and Relationships

• Ongoing efforts in all areas

• Additional focus given to one area each year for next four years

Safety

• Main focus for first year

• Incident reporting system (online)

• Collate and analyse historical incident data

• Incident feedback system (lessons learnt communicated to industry)

• Position paper on cylinder and vehicle identification

• Incident investigation recommendations

Information and Awareness

• Constant gathering and dissemination of data (Research Assistant planned for 2011)– e.g. Gas composition data in conjunction with IGU

• Revamp website to become ‘knowledgebase’

• Updating members’ portal

• Plans for industry year book – commencing 2011 calendar year

• Specific PR strategy

• Develop short 3-4 minute generic videos for use in all markets

• Reviewing current Conference model

Standards and Regulations

• Harmonisation main priority

• Global audit of standards recently completed – published soon

• Review cost of non-harmonisation to industry

• Review industry for best practice cylinder inspection protocols

• Stimulate culture shift amongst regulators re importance of policing regs (i.e. change current indifference to active role)

• Increase liaison status with ISO and other committees (e.g. OIML)

• Initiate NWIPs as required

Advocacy and Relationships

• Provide global policy models for Governments (matrix of sectors and their needs)

• Strive for consistent treatment of methane in emissions regs

• Help establish and build national and regional NGV associations

• Build on UN relationships (attending UNFCCC climate change talks in Mexico next month)

• Monitor harmonisation of light and heavy duty test procedures

• Build on NGO relationships – IGU, IEA, etc.

Major Trends (Opportunities) in Coming Decade

Page 18

• Commercial Vehicles Likely to Lead Market in High GDP Nations

• Heavy Duty Applications (USA 7% of AFVs accounting for 67% of petroleum displacement)

• Marine Applications

• Renewable Biogas/Biomethane

• Small Scale LNG Production Facilities

• Modular ‘scalable’ CNG fuelling stations

• CNG Hybrids. Buses especially.

• Consolidation in CNG cylinder production (mergers and takeovers)
