3 THE ONLY NGV SPECIFIC CONFERENCE TO UNITE CANADA S LEADING UTILITIES, C-STORE S & FLEETs IN ONE PLACE Dear Colleague The Natural Gas Vehicle Market in Canada has gained tremendous momentum over the past year, fuelled by regional incentives for NGV s in British Columbia and Ontario worth over $100 million and large scale investments from some of Canada s largest fleet operators including Robert, Bison and Vedder transport who are truly embracing LNG as the transport fuel of the future. What s clear is that Canada is increasingly turning to Natural Gas (CNG & LNG) as the most realistic alternative fuel to Diesel to power its transportation market. This represents a huge market opportunity in its infancy, which you need to position your business around now in order to take advantage of it. As Canada like the US begins to adopt CNG & LNG on a larger scale there are a host of key challenges that need to be addressed in order to develop a profitable and sustainable market for NGV s: including infrastructure business models and construction, policy and legislation, consumer engagement, OEM development and cross industry partnerships to name just a few. This is early days, but we re on the brink of one of those tectonic shifts that occur every 100 years in the energy game, Kirt Montague, chief executive officer of Plum Energy Responding to this demand major companies are already beginning to stake their claim to this industry with investment from the likes of Shell, Pilot Flying J, Gaz Metro, Fortis BC, Clean Energy and Enbridge to name a few who are all vying to capture a share of the Canadian NGV fuelling market. What s clear with so much to play for, is that if you don t form the right NGV business strategy now or develop the key partnerships that will guarantee your projects success you could miss out on this potential billion dollar opportunity as companies like these steal the market from under your feet. The Natural Gas Vehicle Infrastructure Canada Conference & Exhibition 2013 will show you how to develop a profitable and sustainable NGV infrastructure business. Over the course of two days you ll have the opportunity to hear from the major companies already blazing a trail in this market place and who will show you how to do exactly the same.
