1 Natural Gas for Transportation An Affordable Way to Reduce GHG Emissions In Alberta s Municipal Sector 350 Albert Street, Suite 1220 Ottawa, ON K1R 1A cngva@cngva.org

2 The Natural Gas Vehicle Opportunity Environment Economy Innovation Low Carbon: 10-25% lower GHG emissions Low Emissions: Ultra-low NOx and SOx Clean burning: Significantly reduced particulate matter Lower engine noise in transit, refuse and most fleet applications Transportation sector accounts for $13 billion in economic activity Employs 170,000 Albertans Natural gas is 10-20% cheaper than gasoline and diesel Lower operational costs when diesel after treatment systems are not required Made in Canada: Cummins- Westport Engine Solutions Renewable Natural Gas: 100% renewable fuel for gaseous vehicle systems

3 Why Natural Gas?...SAVE! Save Significant operating cost-savings potential Abundant Supply 100+ years of North American supply Validated Technology Mature, proven, safe and reliable Efficiency and Environmental Benefits Domestic, reduced pollution & noise GHG emissions reductions of 15-25% (well-to-wheels basis) GHG benefits even greater with use of renewable natural gas (RNG)

4 What is Natural Gas? Naturally occurring fossil fuel Originates from plant and animal remains Renewable (e.g., landfills) Over 90 % methane: o The simplest hydrocarbon = clean burning o 1 carbon atom + 4 hydrogen atoms Typical Composition of Natural Gas Methane CH % Ethane C 2 H 6 Propane C 3 H % Butane C 4 H 10 Carbon Dioxide CO 2 0-8% Oxygen O % Nitrogen N 2 0-5% Hydrogen sulphide H 2 S 0-5% Rare gases A, He, Ne, Xe trace Source: NGSA

5 GHG Profile: Transportation Fuel Production Alberta 2016 Gasoline: 7.2 billion Liters Diesel: 9.5 billion Liters Heavy Fuel Oil: 0.4 billion Liters Transportation Emissions by type Gaseous Fuel 0% Vehicle Statistics 183,036 medium duty vehicles 111,845 heavy vehicles 16,332 busses 20,000 light duty fleet trucks 2,500 government vehicles 194,846 off-road vehicles 3 million light duty vehicles All Alberta Emissions Reductions Potential 1.6 MT: Diesel on road 1.3 MT: Diesel off road 9,000 T: Gasoline on road Gasoline off Road 2% Diesel off Road 35% Diesel on Road 27% Gasoline on road 36% Total: 44 MT -- 16% of Alberta s GHG Emissions

6 Alberta: Near-term opportunities Canadian Gas Association ICF Consultants: 1. Supporting deployment of medium and heavy duty natural gas vehicles already delivering savings to fleet operators Transit bus deployment eg. Calgary, Medicine Hat Refuse collection vehicles 2. Harnessing renewable natural gas opportunities Supporting projects using municipal waste sources Purchasing RNG from natural gas distributors Purchasing RNG from nearby farm and rural sources RNG could offset as much as ¼ of Alberta s current diesel emissions The Canadian Natural Gas Opportunity: GHG Reduction Potential to 2030 Transport: 715,500 tco 2e /year Renewable Natural Gas: 4,337,196 tco 2e /year Remote LNG: 1,232,992 tco 2e /year Energy Efficiency: 3,058,158 tco 2e /year Alberta s Electric Vehicle Challenge Current GHG intensity of 820 G per kwh Projected 684 G per kwh 3. Including natural gas fueling infrastructure in municipal planning Municipal fleet support nodes transit, refuse, fleet Transportation fleet support nodes supporting shipping industry Liquefied natural gas infrastructure for mining & extraction Utility fleet support nodes for municipal and utility fleets Off road and construction support nodes including capacity for mobile refueling Tesla S 90 in Alberta = 2.4 million grams of CO 2e if more than 1/2 current vehicles are replaced with electric, then Alberta s GHG increase Almost 250 times increase in renewable electricity generation is required to offset electrification of transportation in Alberta

7 Additional Considerations Average incremental medium/heavy duty natural gas vehicle cost $50,000 to $100,000 Average conversion or light duty natural gas vehicle cost $10,000 to $20,000 Require adequate fueling infrastructure, on site systems and mobile refueling options Approximately 30 percent of current diesel fleet users use on site refueling Approximately 334 card-lock public refueling for fleets locations in Alberta There are 11 public refueling locations in Alberta: 5 Edmonton; 3 Calgary; 1 in each of Red Deer; Lethbridge; and Grande Prairie Alberta has 13 of the Top 100 Trucking firms 10,000 trucks in total 4 largest fleets had more than 500 vehicles Large firms account for less than 3 percent of medium/heavy duty fleet vehicles
