Natural GasOpportunities with Heavy Duty Vehicles Andrew J. Littlefair, CEO
Who is Clean Energy? • North America’s largest supplier of natural gas transportation fuel • Sell compressed and liquefied natural gas (CNG and LNG) • Nearly 80 million gallons sold in 2008 • 185+ fueling station in N. America • Over 50 station currently under construction or development • 15,000 vehicles fueled daily • Fuel over 5,100 buses - 1,500 refuse trucks and 500 heavy-duty trucks daily • Partnership Clean Energy del Peru • Founded in 1996 by T. Boone Pickens & Andrew J. Littlefair • Publically traded as CLNE on NASDAQ
Clean Energy’s Role • Evaluate • Does NG make economic sense for your business? • Provide information on all new products: engines, trucks etc. • Services – “TURN-KEY” • Provide station engineering/design services • Proposal writing support • Write grants for NG trucks & stations (Awarded over $150 million for NG projects) • Vehicle & station financing available • NGV maintenance & certification training • Station partnerships • Provide 100% of capital for fueling station • Long-term bundled fuel rate below diesel
Leadership in California Ports & Regional Trucking • Clean Energy built California’s first LNG plant • Uses North American natural gas • Producing 180,000 gallons/day • Expanding to 240,000 gallons/day soon • Largest LNG truck station in world • Supports clean alternative fuel truck goals in the Port of Los Angeles and Long Beach
Key Drivers for Heavy-Duty Applications • Fuel cost savings • Abundance of natural gas – gas shale and how to extract gas • Rising cost of petroleum fuel – declining oil reserves coupled with rising world demand • Government push for displacing petroleum • Proposed extending fuel tax credits • Proposed doubling of vehicle tax credits • Emissions • Particulate emissions reductions – reduce cancer risks • Greenhouse gases and global warming
An Ocean of Natural Gas in U.S. How much Natural Gas is available in US? • 22 major gas shale basins in the U.S. • Only a few have been significantly explored • Experiencing major growth from gas shale • Production 0.3 Tcf/year in 1998 • Production 1.2 Tcf/year in 2007 • Barnett Shale in Texas now producing 6% of nations gas • Growth in gas shale has created major investment in pipeline infrastructure to bring this gas to the market • U.S. Reserves now 2240 TCF = 118 years
U.S. Oil vs. Natural Gas – Fuel Price Savings • Average ratio of crude oil to natural gas futures prices stands at 9.38 since 1990 • Peaked at 25:1 ratio on August 21, 2009 • Equates to fuel cost savings of $1+ per gallon
Greenhouse Gas Emissions of Fuels Greenhouse Gas Emissions (in grams CO2e/MJ)

U.S. Natural Gas vs. Diesel – Fuel Savings Refuse Truck Example • Refuse truck using 10,000 gallons diesel per year • Operates 260 days per year • 38 gallons/day • Fuel savings $1+ per gallon • CNG fuel savings = $10,000 per vehicle per year • With tax incentives – less than one year payback
Clean Energy supports Heavy Duty Class 5-8 Trucks Sterling, Kenworth, Peterbilt, Freightliner offer HD trucks Volvo/Mack will bring NG refuse product to market in 2009/2010 Volvo/Mack developing 13L engine for Class 8 trucks Discussions with International on natural gas product All refuse truck manufacturers offer natural gas All transit bus manufacturers offer natural gas
Impact of Market Pull All major refuse truck manufacturers in U.S. now offer CNG
Natural Gas Application in other Markets • Truck and Bus markets candidates for natural gas • World truck/bus manufacturers with NG experience include: • Volvo/Renault/Nissan Diesel/MACK • Mercedes/Sterling/Freightliner/DDC • PACCAR/DAF/Kenworth/Peterbilt • IVECO • Scania • MAN • All fleets with high fuel consumption a candidate • Market demand will encourage vehicle production
Conclusions • Heavy-duty natural gas engines and vehicles are available from world class manufacturers for many applications • Market pull will expand product offerings from manufacturers • Significant fuel savings to customers • Clean Energy’s business • Designing, building, owning, operating stations • AND selling fuel to customers at a price that allows customers to achieve significant fuel cost savings
