2 America s Natural Gas Alliance Members Highlighting the Benefits of Natural Gas

3 Why Natural Gas? ABUNDANT CLEAN ABUNDANT DOMESTIC JOBS The United States is now the largest producer of natural gas in the world!

4 Stable Supplies = Stable Prices New Projections for Natural Gas Price Stability ($ per million BTU) U.S. Average Retail Fuel Prices $5.00 U.S. Average Retail Fuel Prices Natural Gas is consistently the lowest price < $1.00 in 2000 to about $2.00 in 2011 $4.50 $4.00 $3.50 Source for NG Prices: EIA Annual Energy Outlook 2011 Henry Hub Spot prices (actual prices included for years prior to annual projections) $3.00 $2.50 $2.00 $1.50 $1.00 Source for Fuel Prices: US DOE Alternative Fuels & Advanced Vehicles Data Center $0.50 $0.00 Propane E85 B99/B100 B20 Gasoline Diesel CNG 4/1/00 7/1/00 10/1/00 1/1/01 4/1/01 7/1/01 10/1/01 1/1/02 4/1/02 7/1/02 10/1/02 1/1/03 4/1/03 7/1/03 10/1/03 1/1/04 4/1/04 7/1/04 10/1/04 1/1/05 4/1/05 7/1/05 10/1/05 1/1/06 4/1/06 7/1/06 10/1/06 1/1/07 4/1/07 7/1/07 10/1/07 1/1/08 4/1/08 7/1/08 10/1/08 1/1/09 4/1/09 7/1/09 10/1/09 1/1/10 4/1/10 7/1/10 10/1/10 1/1/11 4/1/11 7/1/11 Cost per GGE

7 Natural Gas Value Proposition: Four Core Value Propositions Environmental Benefits Reduced CO2 emissions (20-30%) Reduced associative emissions CO, SO2, NOX Lower engine noise Economic Benefits Lower fuel price than diesel / gasoline Reduced maintenance costs Technology is proven and improved Jurisdiction dependent grants / credits Social Benefits Natural gas production related revenues Royalties, taxes, job creation Natural gas fueling infrastructure revenues Job creation, taxes, economic spin-off Energy Security Benefits Domestic energy source Economic benefits through value chain Displaces foreign oil 63% petroleum is imported

8 Natural Gas Fuels Compressed Natural Gas (CNG) Source: Pipeline Compressed to 3,600 psi Primarily for light and medium duty vehicles Ideal for return to base fleets or fleets that require fast filling Time fill and fast fill capability / stored in pressurized tanks Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) Source: Liquefaction Plant Converted to liquid form for ease of storage and transport (Cooled to 260 F and 40 psi) Ideal for medium to heavy duty fleets Fast fill / stored in tanks (similar to diesel size)
