Highlights

7.

• Transportation sector is one of the rare significant development opportunities for natural gas.

• Technology is there• Government support is now available• The competitive context is good. • Gaz Métro Transport Solutions (GMTS) was created in the summer of

2010 to develop this opportunity.• Efforts are presently concentrated on completing a foundation project:

supplying 180 trucks with LNG at Transport Robert.• The ship and rail transportation sectors are also being developed. • Compressed natural gas is also attracting an increased amount of

interest.

Targeted market segments

Heavy duty applications

Class 8 trucks

Ferries, ships

What is Liquified Natural Gas (LNG)

9.

Natural gas at -160°C (-260°F) in a liquid form

Density of 430 to 460 kg/m3 (600 times more than the gazeous form)

LNG is odorless, colorless, non-toxic and non-corrosif

Once mixed with air, the flammability ratio is between 5 and 15%

Technologies

For trucking:Westport technology• As energy effective as diesel

engine• Produced in plant,

manufacturer’s guarantee• Need to use liquefied natural

gas (LNG)• Available for Class 8 trucks

Technologies

11.

For ships:• Technology available at Wärtsilä and

Rolls Royce

For rail:• Technology being adapted by Westport,

in collaboration with CN, EMD and Gaz Métro

Government support available

14.

Programs:• CCA of 60% on new heavy trucks• Additonnal CCA of 85% on heavy trucks

using LNG• Highway tax exemption (18.2 ¢ to 20.2 ¢)

(Quebec)• Federal excise tax exemption (4 ¢)• MTQ program to reduce GHG (30% of

cost overruns, max. $15,000 / vehicle, $200,000 per year (soon $1,000,000))

Safety

Codes and Standards for LNG Stations

All stations are built according to NFPA 52

LNG transfer from our Liquifying plant respect CSA Z276

Transportation falls under TC-338 (Insulated Highway tank for gases as refrigerated liquids)

Respects all CSA and TSSA requirements

15.

Operational Safety

Fuel Distribution and Offloading

Required PPE (cryogenic gloves and face shield)

Specifics nozzles are used which are not compatible with any others

Fuel management system complete with NIP access

Complete safety systems and controls wihtin the station
