CASE STUDY: Waste to Fuel: Greener Pastures & Beyond -‐ CNG Fueling Corridors in the AMP Trillium Joint-‐ Venture

Learn about the largest farm waste to fuel project in the United States. Fair Oaks Dairy / Renewable Dairy Fuels is home to the largest anaerobic digester in the U.S. The project officially started producing Renewable CNG (“RNG”) in 2012 and will fuel a fleet of more than 50 power units in 2013. This unique model uses both CNG and RNG as the sole fuel supplies for a fleet of Kenworth power units traveling more than 11.2MM miles per year. This basic model will be expanded along a corridor of Interstate Highways in Indiana, Ohio, Tennessee, Kentucky, Georgia and Texas to enable the collection and delivery of milk to processing plants. The speaker will share the exact locations of the 2013 stations and their projected opening dates, capabilities and pricing structures.

9:15am

Evaluating Investments in Alternative Fuel Vehicles and Infrastructure for Your Fleet

• The Vehicle and Infrastructure Cash-‐-‐-‐Flow Evaluation (VICE) model Version 2.0 allows fleet managers to assess the financial soundness of investing in vehicles and refueling infrastructure to enable their fleets to run on compressed natural gas (CNG) or liquefied propane gas (LPG).

• Vehicle investment may now be made independently, or de-‐-‐-‐coupled, from infrastructure investment.

• The vehicle fleet may now be compared to several common types of conventionally (gasoline and diesel) fueled heavy-‐-‐-‐ and light-‐-‐-‐duty fleet vehicles including transit buses, school buses, trash trucks and taxi cabs.

• Graphical presentation of ROI, cumulative cash flow and payback periods are now available. Petroleum displacement (annual and cumulative) and annual Green House Gas (GHG) savings are calculated and displayed based on the selected fleet and attributes. George Mitchell -‐ Sr. Engineer, Advanced Vehicle Deployment -‐ National Renewable Energy Laboratory

9:50am

USER PANEL

How to determine the best alternative fueling options and composition for my fleet

• Hear from fleets that either own their fueling stations, use a third party infrastructure provider or rely on publicly available stations. Compare and contrast the pros and cons of each approach

• Discover where and when the next LNG, CNG, electric and other alternative fueling corridors are

being developed

• Hear from multiple case studies and organizations that are using either CNG, LNG or a combination

of both to learn why they chose those fuels

• Learn from current natural gas, electric, propane and other users and how their maintenance

operations have changed, the lifecycle of their fleets has been affected, and their plans for scaling

out and fully replacing diesel/gasoline with alternative fuels
