Contact Information for Project Lead and Co-Lead Project Lead: Kristina Mlakar (kristina.mlakar@cutric-crituc.org) Project Co-Lead (Quebec): Catherine Gosselin (catherine.gosselin@cutric-crituc.org) Natural Gas Mobility Innovation Project Summary Through the Natural Gas Mobility Innovation Project, CUTRIC is conducting six themed consultation sessions to outline a set of strategic initiatives and opportunities with the goal of supporting the advancement of natural gas mobility and achieving low- or zero-emissions transportation networks for Canadians by defining a marquee demonstration project in collaboration with key stakeholders. Hitherto, CUTRIC has hosted two Natural Gas Mobility Innovation Consultation Sessions to discuss the possibility of Renewable Natural Gas (RNG) Integration into Natural Gas Vehicle Demonstration: Long-Range Transit Services. The third Consultation Session will be held on May 22, 2018, in Toronto. The theme for this Session is Natural Gas Integration into Canadian Hydrogen Fuel Supply Chains. The last consultation session is planned to be held in December 2018, in Vancouver. Through these consultation sessions, decisions will be made about the scope and budget of the project to integrate (1) RNG coach bus applications to the 407- Toll Road; and/or (2) RNG/ CNG into the hydrogen fuel cell economy. CUTRIC will present the results of modelling of all propulsion systems for the proposed high-speed transit route along the 407-Toll Road in Ontario to help stakeholders in the decision-making process. Ultimately, stakeholders investment, political affirmations, and funding approach will be finalized by the end of consultation sessions. Leading Stakeholders: Enbridge and Faromor Intellectual Property (IP) and Research Outcomes 1. Demonstration and integration trials, which deploy a sizeable test fleet of natural gas (NG) hybrid vehicle (e.g., transit buses), are required to motivate manufacturers to design the systems and transit agencies to determine the benefit of the vehicles in operation. 2. A large demonstration trial would enable manufacturers to design a powertrain system from bottom up i.e., design the platform and chassis around natural gas storage needs, rather than forcing an NG powertrain system into a pre-existing diesel platform. 3. A Low Carbon Fuel Standard (federally) could help to overcome the price differentials between RNG and compressed natural gas (CNG), thereby supporting the advancement of this fuel within the national and global marketplace. 4. A neutral consortium of partners (not solely composed of private NG industry stakeholders) needs to co-invest in the development of a neutral modelling tool that can be utilized to develop early-stage models and decision-making outputs to support municipal agents in the NG dialogue nationally. This modelling tool could help transit agencies move towards sideby-side studies of NG buses with hydrogen fuel cell and battery electric buses in the future to demonstrate the optimal applications of NG vehicles to specific duty cycles and route characteristics. Governance The governance structure of this Project has yet to be determined. It will likely follow a similar structure to the other marquee projects with a Steering Committee composed of industry stakeholders (e.g., Enbridge, Union Gas, OPG) and transit agencies (e.g., Durham Region, Hamilton Transit). The Project would likely also host a parallel Academic Advisory Committee composed of academic researchers in CNG and RNG (e.g., UOIT, McMaster).
