THE LNG EXPERIENCE IN THE ROAD TRANSPORTS APPLICATIONS

KEY POINTS

More than 20 years of experience in

CRYOGENICS

2005-2010, 5 years of R&D, study and

analysis of LNG applications (Road transports,

Industrial & Marine sectors)

In 2010 first PUBLIC L-CNG

REFUELING STATION IN ITALY

(North West pilot plant)

CURRENTLY IN ITALY: 4 L-CNG refuelling stations operating

7 L-CNG refuelling station in construction

First LNG refuelling station in construction

CURRENTLY IN THE REST OF THE

WORLD: More than 50 LNG/L-CNG refuelling stations

equipped with VANZETTI ENGINEERING

technology / pumps

LNG to CNG

LNG to LNG

LNG to CNG - LNG

LNG AND L-CNG STATIONS IN EUROPE

SOME EXAMPLES

SWEDEN, L-CNG refuelling station for

Biogas Boden, in cooperation with Nordic-

Gas Solutions - operating since 2012

PORTUGAL, LNG / L-CNG public

refuelling station, in cooperation with PRF -

operating since 2012

GERMANY, LNG / L-CNG private

refuelling station for a truck transportation

company, in cooperation with Bohlen Doyen -

will start operation in 2013

UNITED KINGDOM, LNG / L-CNG

private refuelling stations for truck

transportation / food distribution company, in

cooperation with The Hardstaff Group - first

station will start operation in 2013

LNG FOR ROAD TRANSPORTS IN ITALY

THE HDV ITALIAN FLEET IS OLD AND POLLUTANT, IT NEEDS TO BE RENOVATED

IN THE NEXT FEW YEARS, THE INCREASE IN THE NUMBER OF

CNG CARS, CNG LDV, LNG HDV

WILL BRING TO THE NEED OF

MORE CNG AND LNG (L-CNG) REFUELLING STATIONS

WHERE TO CONCENTRATE THE EFFORTS? ON

HIGHWAYS

INTERPORTS

DISTRIBUTION CENTRES in order to create the conditions for the expansion of the entire Italian LNG market

Two L-CNG Dispensers

Sales Capability:

more than 55 CNG cars per hour

9

STANDARD LNG / L-CNG ADDED IN EXISTING HIGHWAY REFUELLING STATION

Co-generation capability: possibility with LNG to integrate energy production,

eventually heat and air conditioning (depending on

electric profile and existing situation)

BENEFITS OF LNG / L-CNG

LET’S NOT FORGET ABOUT THE BENEFITS OF LNG AS TRANSPORT FUEL:

• REDUCTION OF POLLUTANT EMISSIONS

• LOWER SOUND EMISSIONS

• ACCESS TO CITY CENTRE AREAS

• REDUCTION OF TRANSPORT COSTS

ABOUT THE BENEFITS OF LNG / L-CNG REFUELLING STATIONS:

• COMPETITIVE COST

ADVANTAGEOUS PAYBACK TIME,

DUE TO THE DIFFERENT APPLICATIONS

• LOW MAINTENANCE COST

• LOW POWER CONSUMPTION

• FAST BUILDING and INSTALLATION

• FASTER (NOW) ACCESS TO PERMITS AND AUTHORISATIONS

SEE NOTE 3819-2013

VANZETTI ENGINEERING KEY TOPICS:

● STATE OF THE ART INNOVATION ● HIGHEST CERTIFIED SAFETY

● PROCESS EXPERTISE PROVED “ON THE FIELD” ● HIGHEST QUALITY IN EVERY PART

MANUFACTURED OR SUPPLIED

● PROVEN HIGH RELIABILITY

BENEFITS OF LNG / L-CNG

FULLY AUTOMATED PROCESS CONTROL

OF THE STATION (NO OPERATOR PRESENCE)

REMOTE CONTROLLED STATION for:

•DIAGNOSTICS

•LNG / LCNG CONSUMPTION

•LNG TANK LEVEL

LNG / L-CNG REFUELLING STATIONS FUTURE ITALIAN NETWORK

INPUTS

LNG HDV AUTONOMY IS 750 KM AVERAGE

CNG LDV NEED TO REFILL OFTEN IN INTERPORTS

AND DISTRIBUTION CENTRES

THE ECONOMICAL LEVERAGE TO START UP

THE MARKET AND THE INDUSTRIAL PRODUCTION

A TOTAL NUMBER OF 24 ÷ 28 REFUELLING STATIONS ON

HIGHWAYS, INTERPORTS AND DISTRIBUTION CENTRES

(LOCATED CLOSE TO THE 5 MAIN METROPOLITAN AREAS)

THIS IS THE NECESSARY CONDITION FOR:

THE START-UP OF THE ENTIRE ITALIAN LNG INLAND TRANSPORT MARKET

THE INDUSTRIALIZATION OF THE ENTIRE LNG SUPPLY CHAIN

THEREFORE, LNG/L-CNG ITALIAN NETWORK MUST BE MADE OF:
