9 Potential in UK Currently there are approximately 350,000 goods vehicles using 2.7 billion gallons of diesel fuel, thus omitting close to 32 million tonnes of CO 2 Based on these statistics dual fuel vehicles using natural gas could save some 6 million tonnes of CO 2 emissions, or more than 12 million tonnes if using biomethane

15 Individual Buffer Pack Site Buffer Stock Dispenser The cascade buffer system is a portable temporary solution for CNG refuelling and is suitable for gas vehicle trials. The flexibility of the modular design concept provides solutions for a wide range of applications, with the capability of refuelling a variety of vehicle types and quantities.

16 Individual Buffer Pack continued ADVANTAGES: Fast filling typically 5 10 minutes Bio-methane option DISADVANTAGES: Requires exchange units Transport on cost INDIVIDUAL BUFFER PACK SPECIFICATION: 1780 water litres capacity per pack 3 stage cascade system to maximise dispensing capability Transportable exchange system with metered dispenser option Storage pressure up to 300 bar (typically 250 bar) For increased fuel supply combinations of packs can be used for cascade fast fill

17 Individual Buffer Pack continued To maximise the refuelling capacity of the storage system a multistage cascade system is used; typically 3 stage pressure decant. A CNG dispenser is an option in the modular dispensing design. When the buffers are coupled to a dispenser accurate metering is provided. Configuration options: The cascade buffer system can be configured using different numbers of packs to provide a variety of fill capacities. Unique valve arrangement allows for several connection options. Typical configurations are: 1 x single 3 stage using one 1780 litre pack 2 x singles/twin pack 2 x 3 stage systems with each stage coupled (total of 3560 litres) 3 x singles each pack is a stage in the cascade process 3 x twin packs each twin pack is a stage in the cascade process Once the buffer or buffers are depleted they are replace typically on a weekly exchange system. Note: these buffer packs are the same as the buffer packs used in any large compressor station or LCNG station, hence they can be used as an integral part of a larger station upgrade.

18 Cascade Buffer Fill System with Booster The solution is merely an extension on the buffer cascade system which utilises the entire storage capacity of a pack. Site buffer remains in place All refuelling is fast fill cascade Booster used to top up the site buffer pack Booster supply pack is interchangeable As with the cascade buffer system there are many combinations of buffer packs

19 Slow Fill Compressor The slow fill compressor is an alternative more permanent option for refuelling small numbers of vehicles. It is simply a small compressor with low flow rate capacity connected to the national grid gas network that could fill a car or van in typically 5-10 hours. This system is most suited to am operator who always returns to base where the vehicle could be refuelled overnight. However, this option can be coupled with a buffer pack for a fast fill system, whereby the compressor tops up the buffer when not in use. Fill rates will be the same.

20 Slow Fill Compressor continued ADVANTAGES: Simple refuelling system No transport costs Guaranteed supply DISADVANTAGES: Uncertainty of mains connection Maintenance requirements No access to bio-methane Slow fill system provides risk of incomplete filling (in the event of power cut etc) Power requirement PORTAL GAS SERVICES can supply all the necessary mains connections and supply for the above type of refuelling station.

21 LCNG Station The principle of the LCNG station is very simple. LNG is delivered by road trailers and is offloaded and stored at a very low temperature (typically C) in the cryogenic storage vessel (double skinned with vacuum insulation). The LNG is then pumped using the high pressure reciprocating pump to 300 bar through the atmospheric vaporizer. The vaporizer converts the high pressure LNG into a gaseous form by absorbing the required heat energy from the surrounding atmosphere to evaporate it. The high pressure gas; CNG, is stored in buffer cylinders ready for refuelling.

22 LCNG Station continued ADVANTAGES OVER COMPRESSOR Not limited by location Lower Power consumption No oil carry over into the vehicle tanks Higher methane content Easy access to Bio methane Lower maintenance costs Option for LNG dispensing DISADVANTAGES: LCNG station at Kingston-on-Soar Possible planning permission issues with large vertical LNG storage tanks

23 CNG Tube Trailer ADVANTAGES OVER COMPRESSOR Interim solution for large fuel use application during demonstration Fully mobile Does not require planning permission (notification to planners) Can be supplied with or without booster pack and dispenser Biomethane supply DISADVANTAGES: Incurs transport costs for refill procedure

24 Compressor Station This type of station requires connection the National Grid Gas Network and offers a quick fill solution. As with the LCNG station, high pressure CNG is stored in buffers to commence vehicle filling while the compressors start up to complete the fill. With a CNG compressor station gas is compressed from a pipeline pressure of typically 0.5 bar up to 300 bar using multistage compressors.

25 Compressor Station continued ADVANTAGES: Guaranteed supply No interaction with cryogenics Smaller footprint than an equivalent LCNG station (in some cases) DISADVANTAGES: No access to biomethane Almost 10 times as much power requirement when compared to LCNG High maintenance costs and operating costs Lengthy downtime for repairs and servicing Driers may be required if gas is wet in location Potential oil carry over into vehicle containment Grid connection can be expensive Limited locations due to gas mains connection

27 Anaerobic digestion is a treatment that produces a biogas (biomethane) that can be used to generate electricity and heat Solar power, wind power and water can all be used to generate electric power but not vehicle fuels Fuel cells, electric vehicles, renewable energy from the food chain, hydrogen are all alternative options; however Biomethane is acknowledged as the best alternative vehicle fuel - available today Biomethane is sustainable because it is produced from virtually unlimited resources Anaerobic Digestion as a part of a sustainable waste management strategy provides transport with a renewable energy resource that will significantly lower emissions and help mitigate climate change
