  1. TAUD Utility Technology Conference March 13-15, 2013

  2. DUBAI ~ 1990

  3. DUBAI ~ TODAYSAME STREET

  4. DUBAI’S INDOOR SKI SLOPE

  5. Where Our Energy Comes From • 20% Nuclear Power to make electricity • 25% Natural Gas is burned to make electricity • 50% Coal is burned to make electricity • 5% is Hydro, Wind, and Solar • By 2025 it is estimated that 45% of our electricity will be produced by burning natural gas.

  6. Why Choose Natural Gas as a Transportation Fuel? CleanAbundant Safe Domestically ProducedEconomical NATURAL GAS NATIONAL AVERAGE PRICE: $ 2.14 GASOLINE NATIONAL AVERAGE PRICE: $ 3.62

  7. Natural Gas is Clean • Natural Gas is composed of approximately 97% methane. • It is considered to be the cleanest fossil fuel because it produces fewer emissions than other fuels. • Compared to gasoline or diesel, Natural Gas has the least amount of carbon. Natural Gas is CH4, Diesel C14H30, and Gasoline C8H18.

  8. Continued: • CNG vehicles produce approximately 25% less CO2 than gasoline or diesel. • They also produce approximately 80% less nitrogen oxide than gasoline or diesel and approximately 90% less particulates.

  9. Natural Gas is Safe • Natural Gas has a high ignition temperature of approximately 1200 F compared to Diesel which is 494 F and Gasoline which is 536 F. • Natural Gas is lighter than air, will not lay on the ground, and it dissipates when released.

  10. Natural Gas is Domestically Produced • 98% of the Natural Gas we use comes from North America! • Approximately 60% of the oil we use comes from foreign countries. • Approximately $1 billion a day leaves this country due to oil imports. • American Fuel = American Jobs!!

  11. America’s Abundant Supply of Natural Gas • With recent discoveries North America’s supply is estimated at 120 years. • Landfill gas could produce the equivalent of 10 billion gallons of gasoline yearly.

  12. Onshore Gas Reserves

  13. Offshore Gas Reserves

  14. U.S. Pipeline Map

  15. Horizontal Drilling Traditional Wells Horizontal Drilling

  16. Hydraulic Fracturing Private water wells, about 500 feet deep Groundwater aquifers Multiple protective layers extend from surface to below aquifers. Public well, about 1,000 feet deep Several layers of steel tubes encased in cement protect groundwater supplies Protective steel casing encased in cement extends to shale depth Shale Fractures Depth from surface is typically more than a mile

  17. Safety At The Surface Multiple Layers of Groundwater Protection Surface Casing Cement Steel Surface Casing Aquifer Production Casing Cement Steel Production Casing Production Tubing

  18. Wolfcamp Shale Play 250 Miles Wide 350 Miles Long 4,000 ft Thick! >15 Billion BOE..O & G!!!

  19. Gas Hydrates Methane Ice in sediments Sources = deep strata and bacteria USGS estimates 2x Fossil Fuels!!

  20. Future Energy ChoicesOPEC vs China Imported OPEC Oil VS China owns 97% of the $ 1 Billion/Day Worlds Rare Earth Elements OR Domestic Solutions With Natural Gas Vehicles

  21. Rare Earth Elements

  22. Rare Earth Elements Are Primarily Found In Radioactive Soil Thousands Of Chinese Miners Are Affected

  23. ~ 600 pound battery ~ ~ 80 mile range ~ ~ Battery replacement cost $10,000 ~ ~ Starting price $36,050 ~ ~ You will not have to stand in line to buy one. ~

  24. Nissan Leaf Facts • In 2012 Nissan only sold 9,819 Leafs in the U.S. • Nissan plans on building a less expensive model called the Leaf S. • Both projects were financed with 1.4 billion in U.S. Dept. Of Energy loans designed to promote investment in fuel-efficient vehicles. • The Leaf is eligible for a $7,500 federal tax credit. • Natural Gas Vehicles do not receive any funding from the U.S. Dept Of Energy or any Federal Tax Credit!

  26. WHAT’S AVAILABLEBelow are just a few examples of the CNG vehicles on the road today!

  28. AT&T Saves 2.5 Million Gallons Of Gasoline in 2011 Alternative fuels continue to play an significant role in AT&T’s commitment to going green, according to the company’s recently released 2011 Sustainability Report. According to AT&T, the deployment of the CNG vehicles alone helped the company avoid the purchase of more than 2.5 million gallons of gasoline in 2011, and will continue the same progress each subsequent year. For 2012 AT&T goal is to replace retiring passenger vehicles with CNG vehicles. They plan on deploying up to 8,000 CNG service vehicles through 2014.

  29. TGA NGV EXPO – April 2012

  30. NGV EXPO ~ 2013

  31. IF WE DON’T CHANGE THIS WILL BE HOW WE CAR POOL

  32. AMERICANS NEVER GIVE UP!

  33. “IN CASE OF DOUBT, ATTACK!”
