“In 1997, we purchased BAUER equipment and since that time we’ve had very reliable service from that system. We presently have a fleet of about 40 vehicles that are capable of running on CNG. About two years ago we got to the point where we needed to expand our filling capabilites and with the dependibility that BAUER brought us, we decided to stay with their product. We now have two fully functioning BAUER compressors that service our fleet over a ten hour period on a daily basis; so they see a lot of use. We’ve been very pleased with the BAUER products for their dependability and maintenance has been very low. Our original system from 97’ has had very little downtime and only one rebuild and it continues to function well today. We look forward to the same experience with the newest BAUER compressor that we purchased.”

President Obama signs new billsstimulating clean fuels

Safety, Policy, Standards & Regulations

irst, the President signed the Tax Increase Prevention Act of 2014 (H.R. 5771). It features an amendment retroactively

extending the federal $0.50 per gallon credit/payment for the business use of natural gas as a transportation fuel through the remainder of 2014, even though the credits had previously expired at the end of 2013, and the 30%/$30,000 investment tax credit for alternative vehi-cle refueling property. It also includes an extension of the 50% bonus depreciation option for nearly all business equipment placed in service in 2014.

FThese tax credits were made available to individuals, businesses, and other en-tities that use transportation fuel prod-ucts such as CNG, LNG, and propane. The alternative fuels excise tax credits are part of many business, individual, and energy tax incentives covered in H.R. 5771, which was passed by the U.S. House of Representatives Dec. 3 before being approved by the Senate.

He also signed the Carl Levin and How-ard P. “Buck” McKeon National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2015 (NDAA). The NDAA includes an amend-

ment offered by Sen. Jim Inhofe (R-OK) and Carl Levin (D-MI) that encourages the production and sale of NGVs.

It removes the current federal Corporate Average Fuel Economy (CAFE) program credit cap on fuel economy credits for OEM producing dual-fuel NGVs, and low-ers the minimum driving range require-ment for dual-fuel NGVs from 200 to 150 miles, reported NGVAmerica.

Pennsylvania Governorawards $7M to switch trucks to natural gas

Finance Programs

Tom Corbett has awarded $7.3 million in Act 13 funding to 18 companies, organizations and partnerships making the transition to natural gas for their heavy-duty fleet vehicles. “Natural gas, particularly from the shale formations here in Pennsylvania, is an abundant, affordable, domestic fuel that is putting this country on a path to energy independence,” he said.

Giant Eagle, CR England and Waste Management, among the companies chosen

ligible vehicles for all three rounds of the Natural Gas En-ergy Development program, which has already distributed

up to $20 million in grants over three years, included those fueled with CNG, LNG or bi-fuel vehicles weighing 14,000 pounds or more. Grant requests could not exceed 50% of the incremental purchase or retrofit cost per vehicle or a maximum total of $25,000 per vehicle.The chosen companies are Giant Eagle ($400,000 to purchase 16 CNG vehi-cles), Penske Truck Leasing ($1,500,000 to purchase 60 CNG trucks), Beemac Trucking ($375,000 to purchase 15 CNG trucks), Constructural Dynamics ($500,000 to purchase 20 CNG concrete mixer trucks), NFI Interactive Logistics ($375,000 to purchase 15 CNG trucks), New Era Logistics ($250,000 to purchase 10 LNG trucks), Sheehy Mail Contrac-tors ($500,000 to purchase 20 CNG trucks), REV Hoopes Trucking ($500,000 to purchase 20 LNG trucks), REV LNG ($400,000 to purchase 16 LNG trucks), CR England ($239,197 to purchase 10 LNG trucks), Waste Management of Pennsylvania ($500,000 to purchase 25 CNG refuse vehicles), and Northeast Associates ($125,000 to convert five trucks to CNG).Several partnerships also received the grants: Ryder Truck Rental with partner Modern Transportation ($250,000 to purchase 10 CNG trucks); Greater Phila-delphia Clean Cities with partners Road

E

Scholar Trucking, DeNaples Auto Parts, and DeNaples Sanitation ($475,000 to convert 19 vehicles to CNG); Greater Philadelphia Clean Cities with partner W.W. Transport ($500,000 to purchase and convert 30 trucks to CNG); and Pittsburgh Region Clean Cities with partner UPS ($500,000 to purchase 20 CNG trucks).Act 13 of 2012 was the single largest step in modernizing the state’s Oil and Gas Law in nearly three decades. It increased protections for private water supplies, empowered the Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) to issue larger fines and included one of the most progressive hydraulic fracturing fluid disclosure laws in the nation.The Act also authorized DEP to develop and implement the Natural Gas Energy

Development program, funded by impact fees paid by natural gas operators. For this third round of the program, DEP received applications from 37 applicants requesting more than $10 million in grants. The first two rounds awarded a total $14.4 million to 43 companies and organizations making the switch to natural gas.

Rebates extension for CNG-powered vehicles

In late December, the DEP announced the extension of the Alternative Fuel Vehicle Rebate program, which serves as incentive to assist Pennsylvanians with the incre-mental cost of purchasing an alternative fuel vehicle. “DEP remains committed to

seeing the alternative fuels market grows,” DEP Acting Secretary Dana Aunkst said.Large-battery vehicles that have battery system capacities equal or greater than 10 kilo-watt hours (kWh), including mod-els such as the Nissan Leaf, Ford Focus, BMW, Tesla and Chevy Volt, are eligible for the highest rebate amount of $2,000. DEP is also extending rebates of $1,000 for plug-in hybrid electric vehicles and battery-electric vehicles with battery system capacities of less than 10 kWh, including models such as the Toyota Prius plug-in, Ford C-Max Energi, Ford Fusion and Honda Accord.Moreover, rebates of $1,000 are being extended for natural gas, propane, hydrogen or fuel-cell vehicles, such as the CNG-powered Honda Civic or any 2014-15 CNG-powered car or pickup truck. CNG original equipment, manufac-turer retrofits or certified conversions to CNG or propane are also eligible for the $1,000 rebate. A $500 rebate is available

for electric motorcycles and scooters.To qualify, the vehicle must be reg-istered in Pennsylvania, operated primarily in-state and be purchased no more than six months before the rebate

application is submitted. The rebates are funded by the Alternative Fuels Incentive Grant Program, which is supported by a gross receipts tax on utilities.

Four private partners invited to submit proposals for 37 CNGstation project

he Pennsylvania Department of Trans-portation (PennDOT) Secretary Barry J. Schoch announced in mid-January that four teams will be invited to submit

proposals for a program to develop compressed natural gas fueling stations at public transit agen-cies around the state that would also be available for use by the public.The teams, which are Clean Energy, GP Strategies, Spire and Trillium CNG, were scored and selected based on criteria including their financial capabil-ity to carry out the project; their background and experience in managing comparable projects; and, each team’s understanding of the project.“With Pennsylvania now a leading natural gas pro-ducer, this project creates opportunities for transit providers and the public to have better access to this fuel for vehicle operations,” said PennDOT Secretary Barry J. Schoch. “This project will help the people of Pennsylvania realize the benefits this resource is delivering.”PennDOT expects proposals will be required to be submitted by summer, with an award to be made in late summer or early fall. The selected private partner will design, build, finance, operate and maintain CNG filling stations at up to 37 transit facilities. Each fueling site must provide access to compressed natural gas for public transit and other vehicles.The project was approved by the state’s P3 Board on Sept. 29 and PennDOT hosted an industry forum to educate potential, pri-vate-sector stakeholders on the scope and requirements.

California approved $12Mto fund three AFV projects

Finance Programs

During its first business meeting of 2015, the California Energy Commission approved nearly $18 million to fund projects that will help the state meet its climate and energy goals. Twelve million dollars will go toward three alternative fuel projects, $4 million will help fund two geothermal projects and $3.5 million will help fund local energy efficiency projects.

Linde’s hydrogen station, one of the recipients

he three alternative fuels projects will receive funding through the Alternative and Renewable Fuel and Vehicle

Technology Program (ARFVTP), which supports technologies that reduce greenhouse gas emissions and de-pendence on petroleum-based fuels. Recipients include:• The Regents of the University of California: $11.2 million to administer an incentive program to put more natural gas vehicles on California roads.• U.S. General Services Administration: $600,000 to install at least 50 electric vehicle charging stations in existing federal facilities in California.• Linde LLC: $300,000 for operation and maintenance costs and data collection for a new hydrogen refueling station that opened in West Sacramento in December.

Sandia labs join Linde

Sandia National Laboratories and Linde LLC have signed an umbrella Coopera-tive Research & Development Agreement (CRADA) that is expected to accelerate the development of low-carbon energy and industrial technologies, beginning with hydrogen and fuel cells. The CRADA will kick off with two new R&D projects to accelerate the expansion of hydrogen stations to continue to support the mar-ket growth of fuel cell electric vehicles now proliferating among the major auto manufacturers.

“We expect our investment with Sandia will lead to a broader consortium of

T

other commercial partners. We’re happy to lead the way for industry, but ulti-mately we need others on board to join the effort to address barriers to entry of hydrogen fueling infrastructure,” said Nitin Natesan, business development manager at Linde. Last December, the company opened the first-ever, fully certified commercial hydrogen fueling station near Sacramento with support from the California Energy Commission.With DOE support, the first project in the Sandia/Linde CRADA will demonstrate a hydrogen station that uses a perfor-mance-based design approach allowable under the National Fire Protection Associ-ation hydrogen technologies code, NFPA 2. “We know we can get hydrogen sys-tems into more existing fueling facilities if our risk analyses show how they meet the

code. This will help boost the developing fuel-cell electric vehicle market signifi-cantly,” said Sandia risk expert and fire protection engineer Chris LaFleur.The second project under the new CRADA focuses on safety aspects of the NFPA code and entails the modeling of a liquid hydrogen release. “With Linde’s help, we’re developing a science-based approach for updating and improving the separation distances requirements for liquid hydrogen storage at fueling stations,” said LaFleur. Previous work only examined separation distances for gaseous hydrogen, she said, so valida-tion experiments will now be done on the liquid model.

Low Oil Prices andthe US NGV Market

A View from Washington: new column by Richard Kolodziej

nless you’ve spent the last year trapped in a cave, you are well aware of the collapse of world oil prices. In the US,

crude oil prices have declined over the past seven months from a high of $107 per barrel to as low as $46 in mid-Janu-ary – over a 50 percent drop. Since gov-ernment-imposed taxes (both federal and state) are relatively low compared to Europe and many other parts of the world, the impact on the price of gas-oline (petrol) and diesel fuel has been especially dramatic. Seven months ago, regular gasoline prices averaged $3.64 per gallon (87 cents per liter) while diesel prices were to $3.92 per gallon ($1.04 per liter). Last month, gasoline averaged $1.99 per gallon (53 cents per liter) while diesel prices dropped to $2.93 per gallon (77 cents per liter) – a 45 percent decline in gasoline and 25 percent decline in diesel.

How Has NGVs Competitive Position Changed?US natural gas prices, too, have declined. In June, natural gas in the field was selling as high as $4.59 per thousand cubic feet (Mcf). That price declined to as low as $2.94 per Mcf in mid-January. On a Btu-per-barrel-equiv-alent basis, this represents a reduction from about $27 per barrel-equivalent to $17. That means that natural gas’ com-modity-price advantage over crude oil has declined from almost 4-to-1 to “only” 2.7-to-1. But even at the 2.7-to-1, at the pump, natural gas still provides a signifi-cant saving over gasoline and diesel fuel of about $1.00 per gallon-equivalent.

UHow Are CustomersResponding?Customers can be divide into three groups. The first are existing NGV owners who did not have plans to buy NGVs in the near term. The market is not seeing any less fuel use from these customers. In fact, with the US econo-my expanding and demand for trucking services at or near record levels, existing NGV customers – especially commercial fleets – are using more natural gas.The second group are existing NGV customers who did have plans to buy ad-ditional NGVs this year. NGV companies report no appreciable chances in their purchasing plans. These companies have already made investments in fueling infrastructure, maintenance facilities, training, etc. And, while the payback periods for the incremental price of new NGVs have lengthened because the savings gap between natural gas and gasoline/diesel has closed, depending on the customer’s duty cycle, the pay-back period is still attractive.The third group are potential customers who are not yet NGV users but have been considering it. Not surprisingly, there are some reports that the uncer-tainty over oil prices are making some in this group postpone making their NGV buying decision.

What Will Be Happen toOil PricesObviously, no one knows. But many analysts forecast that, for both of supply and demand reasons, oil prices will begin to climb back up – probably late in 2015. Total world oil production in

From this edition on, NGVJournal.us prensents a new series of articles titled “A View fromWashington”, in which the NGV industry leader Richard Kolodziej will expound on important issues regarding the business. This time, he will focus on the collapse of world oil prices andits impact on the natural gas vehicle market.

Richard Kolodziej has been a leader in the US NGV industry for over 30 years. Currently, he is a principal at Zenergy Advisors, an alternative fuels consulting firm providing strategic advice and advocacy services. From 1996 through 2014, Mr. Kolodziej was president of NGVAmerica, the lead organization in promoting NGVs in the US, and is a past chairman of NGV Global. Prior to that, he served as Group Vice President of the American Gas Association with responsibilityfor natural gas marketing and communications. Mr. Kolodziej also serves on the Board of NG Advantage, a US-based virtual pipeline company, and the National Energy Foundation.

January 2015 · 11

2014 was about 92 million barrels per day (Mbd), with world supply exceeding production by less than 1 Mbd. A small change is supply or demand would have a big impact on world oil price. As to oil supply, for many reasons, forecasts anticipate only very small growth in 2015. Consider just one factor -- US oil shale production. In 2014, US production of oil from shale was four times greater than the 1 million barrel per day (Mbd) produced in 2010. But the low oil prices are significantly affecting future produc-tion. While oil shale wells produce oil for many years, there is a substantial drop off per well after the first year – as much as 50 percent. That means that, to ex-pand oil shale production from the 2014 levels (or even to maintain those levels), a great many new wells must be drilled and put into production. But that’s not happening. A recent report states that 2015 budgets for oil shale drilling are being cut by 40 percent. Consequently, the U.S. rig count has fallen by about 20 percent from a high of last year, with further reductions expected. Recently, Texas oil tycoon Ross Perot, Jr. stated that, with continued low oil prices, 30 percent of shale oil companies may go

out of business.What all this means is that US oil shale, which has been a major factor in the sharp increase in world oil supply additions, will probably be a non-factor new net additions in the near future.There’s also the issue of oil demand. While world oil demand is forecast to be modest, it’s still expected to grow. The US economy is now experiencing a significant expansion. And, while, the economic growth in other parts of the world – notably China, India and Europe -- has slowed, as these economies start to expand again, their demand for oil will expand, too. All this, will help reduce or eliminate the world oversupply and again pushing up oil prices.

So What Will Be the Impact of All This on the Growth of the US NGV Market?As explained above, in the short-term (through 2015), any impact should be small. In the longer term (2016 and be-yond), it depends on how long oil prices stay at the sub-$50 per barrel levels. If the above scenario proves to be correct and oil prices start climbing again to,

say $70 or $80 per barrel later in 2015, there will be little impact on the US NGV industry as a whole. Many suppliers have backlog of orders and projects, and any temporary slowdown might allow the market to readjust to the rapid pace of growth over the past couple of years. However, if the above scenario is wrong, and sub-$50 oil prices continue for two or three years or longer, the US NGV industry could see a retrenchment sim-ilar to what it experienced in the early 2000s. What happened then will have to be the topic of a future article.

New bill stimulatesclean fuel adoption inNorth Dakota

Safety, Policy, Standards & Regulations

ntroduced by Rep. Weisz, Kempenich and J. Nelson, and Sen. Burckhard, Klein and Schaible, House Bill 1446

seeks to offer incentives to encourage the use of natural gas vehicles as well as the construction of natural gas fueling infrastructure in North Dakota. It includes the implementation of two schemes: a fueling station incentive program and a vehicle incentive program.

Under HB 1446, the State’s Department of Commerce will administer the fueling sta-tion program to provide cost-share grants of up to a maximum $250,000 per retail location for equipment and installation of equipment to dispense natural gas. The department will establish regulations for the program including rules relating to the verification of costs, eligibility of recipients, application and grant award procedures and reporting requirements.

North Dakota’s Department of Commerce will also administer the vehicle incentive program to provide a cost-share grant of up to $7,500 for the purchase or conver-sion of a (new) noncommercial vehicle that uses natural gas as the primary fuel. Moreover, the department will provide a cost-share grant of up to $15,000 for a new commercial vehicle or for the conver-sion of a used vehicle that uses natural gas as the primary fuel.

The bill establishes the sum of $1,000,000, or so much of the sum as may be necessary, for the natural gas fueling station incentive program, and the sum of $3,000,000 for the natural gas vehicle incentive program, in both cases for the biennium beginning on July 1, 2015, and ending on June 30, 2017.

Galileo Technologies’delivers first virtual pipeline system in the United States

Market Innovations

Mobile Fuel Solutions (MFS) is ready to deploy the first virtual pipeline system from the Argentina-ba-sed company to hit the United States roads, in New York area precisely. The novelty of this CNG trans-portation solution is the VST trailers, which include a MAT-B unit that operates as a compressor and a mobile pump.

It is expected to come into operation in February

he Virtual Pipeline™ system, a solution created by Galileo Technologies to transport natural gas by road where

there are no pipelines, will be used as a mobile CNG station. This is the first device featuring those characteristics in the United States, where compressed natural gas is becoming a matter of interest as an alternative to traditional liquid fuels.Mobile Fuel Solutions (MFS), a New York company specializing in the supply of fuel, is preparing to set up the first one of two Virtual Pipeline™ systems to fuel up two large fleets, one that transports goods and the other one offering public services, both at refueling places and on the road. MFS fully trusts on this device to encour-age the use of natural gas vehicles, as it will allow different companies to choose for this clean fuel without the need to invest on their own fuel stations which are expensive and whose installation permits are not easy to obtain.In addition, it will also allow shortening the distance between the current small

Tnetwork of CNG stations in New York and consumers. It will no longer be neces-sary to move vehicles for long miles and away from their route just to refuel.“Through the Virtual Pipeline™ technol-ogy, we want to broaden the scope of the current natural gas infrastructure,” Dean Sloane, CEO of MFS, stated. “The first refueling unit provided by Galileo Technologies will be in operation by early February,” he added.The mobile platform of this Virtual Pipe-line™ uses a VST-2™ trailer, equipped with two MAT™ containers. The first one transports 28 horizontal cylinders of CNG and 297 GGE (1060 m3), and the second one, 39 cylinders and 418 GGE (about 1500 m3).The system’s advantage relies on the first container with lower capacity, as this “B” type MAT™ houses the hydrau-lic compressor and the pump that allow the trailer to run as a mobile station with a fuel stock of CNG higher than 700 GGE (about 2500 m3). MFS is planning to add a second VST-2™ trailer by the end of the first quarter of

2015 and it foresees a great demand that could require up to four MATs per trailer. Another service alternative that the com-pany is assessing is to install VST™ trailers or MAT-B™ containers permanently where consumers require greater fuel demand. “The interchangeability and the refueling capacity of MAT™ offer the possibility to set up CNG stations under minimum capital requirements,” Sloane stated.Sloane believes that companies having beverage distribution fleets will be among the first users of mobile CNG and he also points out Waste Management and the NY Environmental Remediation Department as other interested user.Firstly, MFS will supply its mobile sta-tions on a CNG station located on Long Island, which will act as the main station of the system. In turn, it is building its own main station at Orangetown on the northern part of New York and it is planning to launch it in July. This second source of natural gas will be equipped with a Gigabox™ CNG compressor, also provided by Galileo Technologies, which will be able to pump from 3 to 5 million GGE (10.71 to 17.85 million m3) per year.“The working methodology through which MFS will start its activities shows how our Virtual Pipeline™ can enhance the scope of the current infrastructure of CNG stations. Moreover, when MFS will have its own main station, the scope of the distribution network of gas pipelines will also expand,” Gabriel Lorenzi, Re-gional Sales Manager of Galileo Technol-ogies in the United States, commented.“This way, the service network that supplies CNG drivers will expand in a faster way, since there will be no need to

January 2015 · 15

develop new underground pipelines or fixed CNG stations, which would require great investment,” Lorenzi added.Since its launch by Galileo Technolo-gies, the Virtual Pipeline™ has allowed supplying natural gas to different users, such as remote communities and mines in Argentina, tourist resorts in Dominican Republic, and industries in Indonesia and Bulgaria, among other applications.

Company’s presence in Peru

Galileo Technologies is also supporting different projects around the world. As an example, with the installation of Galileo PRP 1500 regulatory pressure plants, the Peruvian brick companies Ladrillera Dia-mante and Ladrillera Inca will replace the use of residual fuel oil by CNG in their kilns.Both PRP 1500 will be provided by the hydrocarbon distributor Energigas, and they will function as daughter stations within its distribution system of natural gas by road.The fuel change will secure uniform combustion and minimal environmental impact, which will allow the two brick manufacturers apply the Clean Develop-ment Mechanism (CDM).With origin in the Kyoto Protocol, these mechanisms are promoted by Energigas and are intended to encourage invest-ment in emission reduction projects in developing countries.“The acquisition of these regulatory plants by Energigas redoubles the trust that this company has placed in our compression solutions and in La Llave, our official representative in Peru,” said Andrés Pértica, Galileo Technologies Sales Regional Manager.Also in Perú, Gaspetrol, Copetrol Group network stations in the country, has an-nounced a new natural gas station in the coastal city of Cañete, 144 km from Lima. The facility will be officially opened in

March 2015 and will be equipped with a CNG Microbox® compressor. On this occasion, the flagship product of Galileo Technologies presents an important innovation because it will include a pres-sure regulating plant (PRP) in its interior.The reason for the PRP inclusion within the Microbox® is that compressed natural gas will be brought by Copetrol tanker trucks, allowing vehicles of this city to profit from the benefits of CNG in the absence of underground distribution networks.“The PRP addition has taken modularity a step further, since the new design has not changed what our clients seek in the

Microbox®: reduced use of space, intrin-sic safety and noise levels and vibrations compatible with public environment,” said Andrés Pertica, Galileo Technolo-gies Sales Regional Manager.“The way Copetrol is expanding CNG consumption, even in the absence of infrastructure, is a benchmark for good practice to be followed international-ly,” commented Pedro Briceño, Tech-nical Advisor of The Key, the company that represents Galileo Technologies in Peru.

Clean Charge Network: 1,000 stations planned

Infrastructure & Fueling

Kansas City Power & Light Company (KCP&L), a subsidiary of Great Plains Energy Incorporated, an-nounced its plans to install and operate more than 1,000 electric vehicle charging stations over the next several months throughout the Greater Kansas City region, making it the largest EV charging installation by an electric utility in the US.

Setting up began in late 2014 and will be completed by mid-2015

hrough partnerships with companies at host locations and with Nissan Motor Com-pany, the Clean Charge Net-

work, which will be capable of support-ing more than 10,000 electric vehicles, will offer free charging on every station to all drivers for the first two years. The stations are manufactured by Charge-Point and will be part of the ChargePoint network of more than 20,000 charging spots in North America.“The Kansas City region is quickly building a reputation as an innovative, sustainable place to live and work,” said Terry Bassham, President and CEO of Great Plains Energy and KCP&L. “We’re excited to support this growth by provid-ing our customers and visitors to this re-gion with an environmentally-friendly al-

Tternative to gasoline-powered vehicles. Thanks to our Clean Charge Network, everyone in our service territory will be able to charge up and hit the road.”The charging stations will be installed strategically throughout KCP&L’s service region, ensuring there will be a charging station near where electric vehicle own-ers live and work.“We are committed to the electric vehi-cle industry and want to give residents and visitors the ability to join the electric vehicle revolution. As a utility, we will place the stations where they’re needed most and support them as part of our electric grid, leveraging our expertise with electrical infrastructure,” said Bassham. “Our Clean Charge Network eliminates ‘range anxiety’ in the region, which is the number one roadblock to

greater electric vehicle adoption. Now, electric vehicle owners will have an answer to the question, ‘Where do I recharge my vehicle?’”Installation of the charging stations began in late 2014 and will be completed this summer. The first stations deployed on the network will include 15 fast charging stations provided by Nissan and KCP&L, which will charge any model of electric vehicle on the market. On the fast charging stations, an electric vehicle like the Nissan LEAF will charge from empty to approximately 80 percent in about 30 minutes. In addition, the Clean Charge Network will have more than 1,000 standard charging stations, which will give most electric vehicles a 25 mile charge for every hour it is plugged into the station.“The number of stations allows electric vehicle owners to change their habits, charging as they go about their day, and giving them the freedom to drive that much further. It makes it easier for cur-rent electric vehicle owners and hopeful-ly will remove the perceived barriers for potential electric vehicle owners,” said Bassham.

Region’s leadership intransportation future

“The most exciting part is that everyone benefits,” said Kansas City Mayor Sly James. “Not only do the owners of elec-tric vehicles in Kansas City benefit, but with this project, KCP&L is also investing in the economic development and envi-

January 2015 · 17

ronmental sustainability of this region, which is a win for everyone. I applaud KCP&L for taking this groundbreaking step forward right here in Kansas City.”Kansas City is the largest auto manu-facturing center in the United States, outside of Detroit. That position makes the region well suited for leadership in the transportation of the future. Range anxiety — the fear of running out of power before reaching the next charging station — is a top concern for potential electric car buyers. By alleviating that anxiety and enabling more people to purchase electric vehicles, KCP&L’s Clean Charge Network continues Kansas City region’s leadership as an automo-tive center by creating new jobs and, ultimately, attracting new businesses and talent.This project extends KCP&L’s position as an industry leader in environmental sus-tainability. Along with KCP&L’s environ-mental upgrades at several local power plants, renewable energy portfolio and its energy efficiency programs, the KCP&L Clean Charge Network will reduce carbon emissions and help the Kansas City region attain EPA regional ozone standards.“All our environmental investments,

including the new network, advance our commitment to a more sustainable en-ergy future,” said Bassham. “We know our customers want more choice when it comes to their energy solutions, and we are committed to providing them with affordable, long-term energy solutions that offer them greater control of their energy use.”In addition to regional economic and en-vironmental benefits, the Clean Charge Network can help keep electricity costs low for all KCP&L customers. As more drivers adopt electric vehicles, not only will vehicle emissions be reduced but the cost of operating and maintaining the electrical grid will be spread over increased electricity usage, benefitting everyone. Those who drive electric vehicles will see the bill for fueling their cars go down because electricity is less expensive than gasoline, even at gasoline’s low current price. At the same time, increased efficient use of electrici-ty will offset cost increases for operating the grid, which would otherwise become part of customer bills.“People generally charge their cars at non-peak periods when KCP&L’s electrical grid is being underutilized. By stimulating electric vehicle adoption

with their Clean Charge Network, what KCP&L is doing is encouraging people to use the electrical grid more efficiently and drive down the cost of electricity for everyone,” said Natural Resources Defense Council Senior Energy Econo-mist Ashok Gupta. “KCP&L’s efforts to encourage the use of electric vehicles, modernize the electrical grid, increase the use of renewable energy sources and invest in customers through robust energy efficiency programs are all criti-cal parts of a sustainable energy future. More electric vehicles on the road means that people will be using more electricity during times when KCP&L already has enough generation and distribution ca-pacity to meet their demand. That means savings on electricity bills for everyone and cleaner air for everyone.”KCP&L is not new to electric vehicle infrastructure. In 2011, KCP&L worked with the Kansas City Regional Clean Cities Coalition to bring ten charging sta-tions to the area. KCP&L also deployed additional stations through the KCP&L SmartGrid Demonstration Project. All of these stations offered the opportunity to test technologies and behaviors while monitoring usage, laying the foundation for KCP&L’s Clean Charge Network.

CNG facility opens todisplace diesel use indrilling rigs

Air Quality & Emissions Reduction

alcón Resources Corpora-tion announced that it has commissioned its first com-pressed natural gas facility

through its subsidiary, Hawk Clean Fuels. This site is serving the company’s operations in its El Halcón area in East Texas and is being used to displace diesel fuel used in drilling operations. “We are always looking for new ways to lower completed well costs. Natural gas fueling is certainly a step in the right direction and can also be applied to our operations in other areas,” said Floyd C.

HWilson, chairman and CEO.vThe company believes using CNG to displace diesel fuel used in drilling operations is not only better for the envi-ronment as it will cut CO2, NOx and SOx emissions, but should also result in a nearly 50% savings on fuel costs. Halcón also expects to build similar facilities to service its operations in the Williston Basin in 2015.Nick D. Koch, Vice President of Opera-tions for El Halcón, also stated: “We’re excited to use this technology, not only to reduce drilling costs and improve

economics, but also to reduce emissions in an area whose population continues to grow. The residents surrounding our acreage have been very hospitable and it’s good to know we have their support.”Since the discovery of El Halcón two years ago, Halcón has drilled over 80 wells in the play, and believes it has de-risked its entire 101,000 net acre po-sition. Natural gas fueling is one of many ways the company expects reduce costs and increase efficiencies in the play as it transitions from lease capture mode to development mode.

Google bets on alternative fuels for California shuttles

Green Fleets

Four new all electric community shuttle buses, funded by Google in a two year pilot project, are on the road in Mountain View, California. Known as the Mountain View Community Shuttles, the white and blue buses use modular, plug and play electric powertrain technology from Motiv Power Systems.

To ease traffic congestion and increase transportation options

he Motiv electric Powertrain Control System (ePCS) electri-fies truck or bus chassis as a ship-through option, using a

variety of commercially-available battery packs and motors.The Mountain View Community Shuttle service is aimed at moving residents and visitors through the City between neigh-borhoods, shopping centers, medical complexes, City facilities and recreation areas. “We’re happy to be working with Motiv and the City of Mountain View on the new electric community shuttles. We hope the shuttle system makes getting around a little easier–and greener–for all of our neighbors,” said Meghan Casser-ly, Google spokesperson.

TThe four electric shuttles are free to the public and are equipped with seating for 16 passengers, a wheelchair lift, space for two wheelchairs, WiFi connectivity and bicycle racks on the outside of the vehicle. The free shuttles are being made available to help residents and visitors access recreational areas. City officials hope the service will reduce drive-alone traffic, as well as help resi-dents get around town in a loop route.“With these four buses, thousands of residents will get to experience firsthand what an electric bus can offer,” said Motiv CEO Jim Castelaz. “These buses demonstrate we don’t need to design new vehicles from the ground up to break their reliance on fossil fuel and offer zero-emission vehicle options.”

While the costs of the two year pilot program are supported by Google, the electrification of the shuttles was made possible through funding from the California Energy Commission (CEC). CEC grants allowed the bus and service dealer, ABC Companies to purchase the batteries, as well as the electric power-trains, and provide Google zero emission shuttles for the same cost as their fossil fuel counterparts.“We’ve been watching the develop-ment of electric buses over the past few years,” said Jon Savitz, Senior Vice President, Business Development of ABC Companies. “Google’s commitment to clean, efficient transportation and their companywide culture of promoting new technologies gave ABC’s Ameritrans sub-

sidiary an opportunity to apply Motiv’s fully electric drive system to their shuttle vehicles. The Mountain View Community shuttles are the perfect showcase to apply this technology to our buses and bring cleaner public transportation to the residents and visitors of the city.”The Mountain View Community Shuttles feature a Ford E450 chassis, the Motive-PCS and an Ameritrans 285 shuttle bus body. With these shuttles, the Motive-PCS, battery packs, and a motor were installed to replace the engine and trans-mission of a new incomplete chassis in a ship-through modification. This process, common in the truck and bus industry, is similar to a Compressed Natural Gas ship-through modification and allows for minimal changes between the fossil fuel and electric versions of the final vehicle. Existing truck and bus builders who already use incomplete chassis can use the MotivePCS product suite to build and sell electric versions of their existing truck and bus models.In 2014, Motiv was the first electric truck and bus company in the US to release a production model all-electric school bus and the first in North America to release an all-electric garbage truck.

Over 200 New Flyer CNG buses to beadded in Orange County

Green Fleets

ew Flyer Industries Inc. recently announced that Orange County Transportation Authority (OCTA) awarded

them a contract in December 2014, for up to 212 compressed natural gas 40-foot heavy-duty XN40 Xcelsior® buses. The deal includes a firm order for 202 buses and options for up to an additional 10 units that may be executed over the three-year contract period.

OCTA’s current active transit bus fleet consists of approximately 525 buses of which 521 have been built by New Flyer since 2006 and powered by natural gas. This recent award will replace 192 LNG-powered and 10 diesel buses that have reached the end of their useful life.“New Flyer offers a wide variety of clean

Npropulsion systems powering transit buses in the U.S. and Canada, of which nearly 5,000 CNG buses are currently in service,” said Paul Soubry, President and CEO of New Flyer.

“We are committed to continue our support and the partnership with OCTA by providing a world class product and best value and support for the life of their New Flyer buses,” he added.

San Diego offers incentives for alternative fuel taxicabs

Finance Programs

irport visitors could soon be getting a breath of fresh air in the form of cleaner, green-er, less-polluting taxicabs

after the San Diego County Board of Supervisors approved a $360,000 pro-gram in late January. The pilot project will give taxi owners $4,000 rebates to scrap their older, gasoline-powered taxis and buy newer, hybrid electric, CNG, or alternative-fuel vehicles that generate less pollution.

According to Supervisor Greg Cox, who brought the idea to the Board, the program could mean cleaner air for everyone: taxi passengers at San Diego International Airport, people living in surrounding neighborhoods and the entire region. “We could see a reduc-tion of three to five tons of harmful air

Apollutants each and every year,” he said. He also noted that the program was intended to complete the effort that San Diego County Regional Airport Authority started several years ago to convert the airport taxi fleet to greener vehicles.

Officials from the County’s Air Pollution Control District (APCD), which will over-see the rebate program, said 271 of the estimated 354 taxis that regularly serve the airport have already converted to cleaner vehicles, but that 83 remained older model, gasoline cars and vans. They also commented converting taxicabs to cleaner vehicles can sig-nificantly improve air quality because taxis often rack up more than 100,000 miles of travel every year. The rebate program will be paid for with money

that the Department of Motor Vehicles collects from a $4 annual fee on vehicle registrations and gives to local govern-ments to pay for motor vehicle related projects.

In this positive and promising scenario, L-NGV2015 San Diego will take place next June 17-20 at the San Diego Con-vention Center in California. The theme of this event is “Natural Gas and Other Clean Fuels for All Applications”. It is hosted by the San Diego MTS (Metro-politan Transit System), endorsed by NGVAmerica and the San Diego Region-al Clean Cities Coalition as well as NGV Global and NGVA Europe, under Sempra Energy/SoCalGas Gold Sponsorship, and organized by NGV Communications Group.

Strategic alliance boosts LNG as marine fuel in US

Infrastructure & Fueling

Pivotal LNG, Inc., subsidiary of AGL Resources Inc., and WesPac Midstream LLC (WesPac) have signed a long-term agreement with TOTE, Inc. (TOTE) to provide LNG to fuel TOTE’s two new state-of-the-artcontainerships. Pivotal LNG and WesPac will build a new liquefaction facility in Jacksonville, Fla.,expected to be operational in mid-2016. This site can add extra liquefaction and storage capacity in the future in order to supply other customers in the region.

To meet LNG growing demand in the southeast

he land has been purchased, the engineering and permit-ting process is advancing, and the new Jacksonville LNG

facility is expected to be operational in mid-2016. The Jacksonville site provides the capability to add additional natural gas liquefaction and LNG storage capaci-ty in the future in order to supply other customers in Jacksonville and regional markets.“This announcement marks the begin-ning of long-term, sustainable relation-ships that support the growth of LNG as a clean alternate fuel in and around the Jacksonville area,” said Steve Citta-dine, president of Pivotal LNG. “The combination of this new LNG facility in Jacksonville and our existing portfolio of LNG assets positions us well to serve the fueling needs of our current and future customers in the southeast, Puerto Rico, the US Virgin Islands and potentially the broader Caribbean market.”Dave Smith, president of WesPac com-mented, “With this landmark agree-ment, WesPac has secured property in Jacksonville for the construction of the first LNG liquefaction facility supplying marine fuel in North America. Together with our partners Pivotal LNG and TOTE, we’ve effectively established LNG as the fuel of the future for marine vessels in the US. We look forward to the comple-tion of the project and expanding the facility going forward as more markets transition to clean LNG fuel.”

T

TOTE’s new dual-fuel ‘Marlin-class’ containerships, the first in the world, are expected to be delivered to Jacksonville in late 2015 and early 2016 and will op-erate between Jacksonville and Puerto Rico. Operating these new LNG-powered containerships will result in significant emissions reductions, making them the most environmentally friendly ships in the world. Both ships, powered by dual-fuel LNG engines, greatly surpass the requirements of the U.S. Environ-mental Protection Agency’s clean air regulations.Anthony Chiarello, president and CEO of TOTE commented: “It’s an exciting time for TOTE, WesPac, Pivotal LNG and the Puerto Rico trade. The new Marlin class vessels that will enter service in late 2015 are the first LNG powered contain-

erships in the world. This significant investment in the trade, the environment and in Jones Act vessels will create a long-lasting, positive impact in Jackson-ville and Puerto Rico.”“Ports and regions that embrace the LNG opportunities before us stand to gain the most in terms of jobs, economic growth and business connectivity with communities around the world,” said Brian Taylor, CEO of the Jacksonville Port Authority (JAXPORT). “This important agreement solidifies Northeast Florida’s place as a pioneer in the commercial benefits of LNG, thanks to groundbreak-ing decisions by our long-time port customers, and the innovative spirit of the business and political leadership in our region.”
