CNG Fueling Appliances for Natural Gas Vehicles ROBERT STRODS Co-Founder & COO E-mail: info@hygengroup.com www.hygengroup.com 2017, HYGEN Presentation
Natural Gas Markets Natural Gas (NG) in loosing share in residential heating market Proven reserves of NG for more than 300 years to go NG is the lowest cost motor vehicle fuel available today Untapped market potential for NG in transportation - 30%
Natural Gas Vehicles (NGVs) Cheaper (40-80%) Cleaner (reduces local pollution & CO2 emissions) Proven (>24,5 M vehicles) Demanded (2% with only 3.6% of station) PROBLEM: Lack of fueling infrastructure for NGVs NGVs 2.0% CNG Stations 3.6% Other Vehicles 98.0% Gasoline Stations 96.4% OPPORTUNITY: 200 million homes connected to natural gas grid
Leveraging Existing Gas Grid
Initial Industry Solution FuelMaker s corp. Residential Fueling Appliance (RFA) «PHILL» PHILL proved market «traction» and business model Car OEM strategic alliance partner - HONDA It failed too expensive, short service life, slow to refuel NGVs
HYGEN Breakthroughs VS PHILL GASDROID 1. Lower Cost 4 000 USD 3 000 USD 2. The Longest Service Life 5 000 h (2y) 25 000 h (10y) 3. Fast Fueling 8-12 h 3 min 6 X economic change compared to existing solutions and unique customer experience - fast at home fueling
HYGEN s GASROID - Home Fueling Appliance Compression flow Storage capacity Fueling time Electricity consumption Power supply line Service life 1.1 Sm3/h (0.65 SCFM) 18 Sm3 (630 SCF/5 GGE) 3 min 0.5 kwh/sm3 (0.014 kwh/scf) 220 V (single phase) 25 000 h
Business Case for Utilities Extends natural gas grid capabilities to fueling vehicles Allows to capture part of 30B EUR global suburban driver fuel market Enables to retail CNG at competitive price at customer s doorsteps 5 x gas sales (one appliance two vehicles) Increases Regulated Asset Base Fulfills environmental and innovation commitments Economic driver for natural gas grid development Load leveling (winter and summer)
Gasoline vs HYGEN s CNG >35% reduction in fuel costs on average in Europe Unique customer experience fast 3 min at home fueling Additional benefits (free parking, bus & taxi lane, tax reduction) Significantly improved air quality and reduced CO2 emissions
Gasoline vs HYGEN s CNG 50% reduction in fuel costs (3.00 USD/GG, 0.67 USD/GGE of NG) in U.S. Unique customer experience fast 3 min at home fueling Additional benefits (free parking, bus & taxi lane, tax reduction) Significantly improved air quality and reduced CO2 emissions
EV vs NGV+HYGEN EV NGV + HYGEN Everyday fueling solution Home, office and city parking lots Home and Office At-home fueling time 6-10 h 3 min Driving extension Tank cost (For 100 miles) Sophisticated and expensive infrastructure 9,000 USD (26kw battary, 350 USD/kwh) Conventional Fuels (all NGVs are bi-fuel cars) <1 200 USD (85 l w/c cylinder, 14 USD/l) Mass produced vehicles 50 +100 Conversion of gasoline vehicle Availability of energy distribution grid NO Most households YES, widely available Less developed Proven market traction Just started (2M cars) YES (24 M cars)
