Info from the InternationalAssociation for Natural Gas Vehicles

Brett Jarman

IANGVExecutive Director

As well gathering for our conference in Rome last month tocelebrate the revolution in transport (see pictures on thesepages for highlights), IANGV members also assembled for ourusual round of members and in-house meetings to continueanother internal revolution ofsorts. This particular set of meetings was more significantthan usual as it completed an 18month process of review of thestructure of the association.

This review culminated in severalmajor changes being approved bymembers to better position us aswe move into what is likely to bethe most exciting decade the NGVindustry will ever see.

These changes include a newbrand for the association, a widerrange of options for members,more options for national orregional associations wanting tojoin our network, the establish-ment of a Board of Directors, andalso a General Assembly, where allmembers can have a voice andinfluence the strategic direction ofthe association.

New MembershipStructure

Another key change we’ve intro-duced is varying the range andnumber of membership options.Members will now have a choiceof joining us directly as ‘CorporateMembers’ or via one of ourAffiliated National or RegionalAssociations as ‘Corporate

Associate Members’. AssociateMembers will be entitled to most ofthe benefits available to corporatemembers as outlined below.

This level will suit most industrymembers but for those who wantthe extra benefits, such as increasedvoting rights, Board of Directors eligibility or enhanced listings in ourbusiness directory, they will be welcome to join us directly.

We still strongly encourage Nationalor Regional Association membershipthough and provide incentives (feediscounts) for those that do.

We have also introduced a newclass of Sponsoring Members toacknowledge industry leaders takingpart in our sponsorship program.

In recognition of their significantfinancial commitment to theAssociation, these leaders receiveadditional benefits including automatic Board of Directors entitlements. Companies interestedin taking up a leadership position andjoining those currently displayed onthis page, should contact me directlyat [email protected] or phone +61 2 6608 0011.

More Options for Nationaland Regional Associations

One of the weaknesses of the association, the low participationrate of National and Regional NGVAssociations, has been addressed bylowering the entry level for associationswishing to join our network.

Currently less than half of the national or regional NGVAssociations operating around theworld are members of NGV Globalwith cost reportedly being the mainbarrier. Under our new structure,associations can become an AlliedAssociation for one third of the pricepreviously charged.

Associations can also take a higherlevel of membership (Affiliation)under which their members willbecome Corporate AssociateMembers of NGV Global.

The entry price for this has also lowered and structured in a way thatgives NGV Global a more equitablereturn based on numbers of members.

We have also formalized our relationship with the International

IANGV Undergoes Its Own Revolution

Originally approved in October lastyear (at our Council meeting inDonghae), we have now publiclyannounced and launched our newbrand NGV Global. Our formal name for the association will continue to beInternational Association forNatural Gas Vehicles Inc, but aswe are no longer the only international association, due tothe formation of several regionalassociations, we have adoptedNGV Global, as it better definesour ‘territory’. Of course, it’s also

New Brand – NGV Global

easier to say and is an improvement on the IANGVacronym, which doesn’t roll off thetongue so easily.

Our weekly newsletter of the samename, has now been renamedNGV Global News.

As you can see, the brand alsoincludes a new logo. We’ll beusing the globe for a range ofapplications so keep an eye outfor it in its various forms.


Gas Union (IGU), giving them automatic membership entitlementwithin our rules, and a position onour Board of Directors. This isindicative of the importance of thisrelationship to our association.

The Revolution in Action

As mentioned earlier, all of thesechanges are designed to strengthenthe association as we move towards2020. Our projections indicategrowth to as many as 65 millionNGVs on the road by that time sowe need to be in a strong position tocontribute to that advance. Issuesthat we will face will be much largerin scale and more critical to addressas an industry body.

Specific outcomes of the changeswill be:

® Broader representation of theindustry by NGV Global

® Increased participation in our international network by National andRegional NGV Associations

® Improved financial stability for theassociation

®Improved participation by membersin NGV Global’s strategic directionthrough our General Assembly andits associated subcommittees.

®Increased staffing and resourcesfor NGV Global

®Improved decision making withinthe association through clearer definition of the decision making bodies.

®Our next step as an association isto complete and adopt a StrategicPlan for NGV Global, a processwhich commenced last year but wasput on hold while we resolved theunderlying structural issues of theassociation. I look forward to reporting more on this plan later this year.

Join the Club

The critical question industry members should ask themselves is;how can I be a part of this andwhere does our business or organization fit in? Membership isthe first and most obvious step.

If your country has a national NGVassociation, then that would be thebest place to start.

As the national, regional and global associations all have different functions and areas of focus, youmight find it appropriate to join one,two or even all three.

It’s a complex set of options butdon’t let that be an excuse for avoiding participation.

Discuss your options with each ofthose relating to your area – (you can find our affiliated and allied associations listed on ourwww.ngvglobal.org website) – and ofcourse, we welcome your enquiriesto join NGV Global directly.

Please contact me [email protected] or phone + 61 26008 0011.

Replacing oil derived fuels in transport is a core theme of the EU2020 Strategy COM (2010-2020)and of the White Paper on CommonTransport Policy 2010–2020,presently under preparation.

The long-term perspective for transport in Europe has been laidout in the CommissionCommunication on the Future ofTransport of 2009, being supportedby the Commission Communicationon a European strategy on cleanenergy efficient vehicles COM(2010)186 final, which reveals that"the Commission will determine andcompare the environmental and carbon footprint of vehicles (internalcombustion engine, electric, gasfuelled vehicles and hydrogen) basedon a life cycle approach". TheCommission therefore stresses atechnological neutral perspective, inorder to reach the 2020 transportgoals. NGVA Europe was contributingto the debate on the future of transport as a stakeholder by participating in various stakeholdermeetings, specifically also on thisissue of clean and energy efficientvehicles.

The Commission Communication onfuture steps in bio-waste management in the European UnionCOM (2010)235 final now accentuates “that improved management of bio-waste in the EUholds an untapped potential for significant environmental and economic benefits”. “About one-thirdof the EU's 2020 target for renewable energy in transport couldbe met by using biogas producedfrom bio-waste, while around 2% of

NGVA Europe increases its activity in Brussels

the EU's overall renewable energytarget could be met if all bio-wastewas turned into energy”. However,bio-waste covers only a small portionof the total biomethane potential.The EU definition of bio-waste doese.g. not include manure based biomethane (provides the highestGHG avoidance up to 148%) or gasmade from other agriculturalresources, sewage sludge or forestwaste.

The objective of the Community onCO2 emissions is an overall reduction by 80% by 2050.The next 10 years are crucial forthis 2050 vision. The White Paperwill outline a transport action programme until 2020. It will definethe overall framework for actions inthe next ten years in the fields oftransport infrastructure, internalmarket legislation, technology fortraffic management and decarbonisation of transport throughclean fuels and vehicles.

NGVA Europe, the European association for natural gas and

biomethane vehicles, currently participates as the unique stakeholder representing the NGVrelated interests in the Expert Groupon Future Transport Fuels (organizedby DG MOVE).

This expert group aims at the preparation of the White Paper,which will advise the EuropeanCommission on the development of acomprehensive fuel strategy and concrete measures, leading todecarbonisation of transport andsubstituting fossil oil as transportfuel.

NGVA Europe represents more than110 members from more than 30countries already and we are proudto announce that we will open abranch office in Brussels inSeptember 2010. NG/biomethanevehicles in Europe are on the moveand NGVA Europe will continue tomeet the challenge on behalf of theEuropean NGV related industry!

European Association July Report

Natural Gas Vehicle Association Europe


On last June was officially inaugurated the ultra-modern stationof the company Alpengas in Bolzano,Italy. The station is located at theA22 highway –Munich-Modena-- exitBolzano South and thus well situatedfor the highway users as well as forthe local residents/ customers.

The project entailed a € 6M investmentand covers 9,000 m2 of land.The natural gas delivered by thisAgip station is provided by ENI.When entering the station, usersfind double 6 multi-dispensers to provide their vehicles with all types ofgasoline, diesel (including AD) andCNG, the customer also being ableto operate in self-service mode.

The methane, which will soon be biogas produced in Bolzano, is compressed by employing twoDresser Wayne compressors of700Nm3/h each, which store thegaseous fuel in a 600Nm3/h cascade and then supply the refuelling points. Moreover, through an agreementwith the Fiat Research Center, interested in the project, there willbe Hydrogen blends available.

On the other hand, there are twospecial points to serve trucks (4 at atime may refill 150 litres/diesel perminute each), restaurant, wi-fiInternet, among other things.The station is also ready to offerE85 gasoline and LNG for trucks ...

L'Unione europea punta sui veicolipuliti ed efficienti per raggiungere gliobiettivi di riduzione delle emissioni digas serra e dare nuovo respiro alsettore dell'auto. In linea con le indicazioni del programma Europa2020 e in vista della pubblicazioneimminente del 'Libro bianco sulla politica europea dei trasporti', il commissario per l'Industria, AntonioTajani, ha sottolineato in una comunicazione al Parlamento europeo, come “l'importanza dei carburanti e delle tecnologie di propulsione alternativi sia destinata acrescere in futuro” e ha fissato alcune delle priorità che intende perseguire, incentivando la ricerca,fissando standard comuni in tuttaEuropa e sviluppando l'infrastrutturanecessaria per favorire "la transizione verso un'economia efficiente sotto il profilo delle risorsee a basse emissioni di carbonio”.

Oltre alle auto elettriche, che laSpagna ha messo in cima alla suaagenda durante il semestre di presidenza, anche i veicoli a gasnaturale fanno parte delle prioritàdella Commissione, che vuole assumere un ruolo di guida per far sì che venga potenziata, a livello nazionale e regionale, l'infrastrutturadi ricarica e di rifornimento, studiando con la Banca europea pergli investimenti, Bei, le possibiliforme di finanziamento per stimolaregli investimenti destinati a migliorarei servizi per i veicoli. Bruxelles hamesso in chiaro di voler mantenereun atteggiamento di 'neutralità tecnologica' rispetto ai vari settoriindustriali e ha annunciato la pubblicazione delle linee guida per gliincentivi finanziari destinati all'acquisto delle auto 'verdi', che

A partire da questa edizione, i lettori di GVR troveranno ogni mese un articolo della nostracorrispondente da Bruxelles, la giornalista specializzata Cristina Marconi, sull'Unione europeae i veicoli a gas naturale

restano oggi ancora troppo care peri consumatori.

Il commissario al Clima, ConnieHedegaard, da parte sua ha promesso una proposta legislativaper la riduzione delle emissioni deiveicoli pesanti, che rappresentano da

soli il 5% delle emissioni di gas serranell'Ue, ossia ben più che l'aviazionee il trasporto marittimo messi insieme. Ma l'interesse di Bruxellesper l'auto a gas si fa ancora più vivose si guarda allo sviluppo delle potenzialità del biogas.

La Commissione sta infatti mettendoa punto particolari iniziative di sostegno, partendo dalla considerazione che circa “un terzodell'obiettivo che si è fissato l'UEper il 2020 in materia di energierinnovabili nei trasporti potrebbeessere raggiunto utilizzando il biogas ricavato dai rifiuti organici,mentre circa il 2% dell'obiettivo globale fissato dall'UE in materia dienergie rinnovabili potrebbe essereottenuto se tutti i rifiuti organicifossero trasformati in energia.

Si tratterebbe di un risultato notevole, soprattutto se associato aivantaggi conseguiti sul fronte dellosmaltimento dei rifiuti. Ma viste lerapide evoluzioni tecnologiche nelsettore, la Commissione europea si ripromette di rivedere la sua strategia sui veicoli efficienti già nel2014.

Clean and efficient cars are at thecore of the European Union's strategy to reach the targets ofreduction of the emission ofgreenhouse gases and give newmomentum to the automotive industry.

In line with the objectives of theEurope 2020 program and with theforthcoming publication of the 'Whitebook of european transport policy',Antonio Tajani, commissioner forIndustry, has indicated in a communication to the EuropeanParliament that “the importance ofalternative fuels and of new propulsion technologies is going togrow in the future”.

Tajani has listed some of the priorities he wants to pursue in thenear future: foster research, establish common standards inEurope and develop necessary infrastructures to favour a “transitiontowards an economy which is efficient from the point of view ofresources and with a low greenhouse emissions rate”.

Besides electric cars, which havebeen on the top of the agenda ofSpain's semester of EU presidency,natural gas vehicles are among themain interests of the EUCommission, which is willing to assume a leading role in reinforcingthe infrastructures to recharge andrefuel. To this end, Brussels isstudying with the EuropeanInvestment Bank, EIB, possible financing instruments to improve theservices for the 'alternative' vehicles,making clear that it is necessary tokeep a 'technological neutrality'towards different industrial sectors.

Since this edition, GVR readers will monthly find a note about the European Union and naturalgas vehicle from our correspondent in Brussels, the specialized journalist Cristina Marconi.

One of the weaknesses of 'alternative'cars is that they are still too expensive for consumers. For thatreason in the next months theCommission will issue some guidelines for financial incentives.

The commissioner responsible forClimate Action, Connie Hedegaard,has announced that she will presenta legislative proposal concerningtrucks, which alone represent 5% ofgreenhouse emissions in the EU, i.e.much more than aviation and maritime transport combined.

But Brussels’ interest in natural gasvehicles is even more vivid if onelooks at the development of the biogas potential.

In this field the EuropeanCommission is preparing specificsupport initiatives, starting from theidea that “about one-third of the2020 EU target to use renewableenergy in transport could be metby using biogas produced from bio-waste as vehicle fuel and around2% of the overall renewable energytarget could be met if all bio-wasteis turned into energy”.

It would be a remarkable achievement, even more so if relatedto the advantages it would bring tothe management of waste. But giventhe very quick technological evolutionof the transport sector, the EUCommission has decided to reviewits strategy in 2014.

Clean cars are at the core of the EUtransport strategy


With a worldwide NGV populationwhich over the last decade hasincreased from a few million to 12million vehicles, with an increasingshare of OEM supplied vehicles, andwith the use spreading from cars,trucks and buses both to smallervehicles (three-wheelers) and tomuch larger “vehicles” (ships andtrains), I believe the industry needs toconsider whether the promotionalconcepts used so far are still thebest way to support continued strongmarket growth.

In the wake of the economic recession exhibitions and conferences are generally sufferingfrom reduced attendance and bookedexhibitor space. Our industry is noexception.

The alternative fuel theme is also ingeneral less “revolutionary” than adecade ago. Whether the exhibition/conference concept usedsince the 90’s is the best way of supporting future NGV market developments is an open question.

People in the NGV industry still havea need to get together, to build networks, and to exchange ideas inworkshops focusing on different subjects, but these workshops maynot be the best way of reaching all ofthe real customers.

I believe that the NGV industry mustthink hard about the best way ofattracting the real customers. To kick off this process we have todefine different customer groups, different product offers, and differentsuppliers.

® Completely new passenger caroffers are usually communicated at afew major international car exhibitions (Geneva, Frankfurt, Paris,Tokyo, Detroit) which in sequence areaddressing three different targetgroups – media, car industry people,and finally car enthusiasts in general.

® Current passenger car offers

usually communicated at national carshows. It takes an effort to benoticed. Just exhibiting a car is notalways good enough. Success stories need to be communicated, e.g. racing achievements demonstrating highperformance capability, or high penetration of certain segments, e.g. taxi cars.

® Special events for fleet owners(e.g. taxi companies), including testdriving as well as product exhibition,could often offer more direct sales opportunities than large public exhibitions.

® Offers of all kinds of commercialvehicles, including NGVs, are bestcommunicated at national trade fairsevents.

® Offers of NG powered buses could with advantage be communicated at regional bus exhibitions (Europe, Asia, LatinAmerica, North America etc).

® Offers of components of interestto the NGV industry could be splitinto three categories – vehicle components, filling station components, and biomethane production and upgrading equipment.

Interested parties would be OEMauto makers, CNG/ LNG distributors, and municipal authorities. It is not very likely thatwe could create events which simultaneously appeal to all three ofthese categories. At the moment wemainly attract CNG and LNG distributors, not the OEMs, and notthe municipal authorities.

In summary I believe that we in thefuture, concerning NGV exhibitions,need to shift the focus from international to regional or nationalevents, to avoid the shotgunapproach, and instead arrange clearly target oriented meetingsbetween prospective buyers and suppliers.

We also need to highlight any reallysuccessful NGV marketing efforts –talking about mediocre performanceswill not create enthusiasm. We also need to recognize differences in market maturity.

NGV promotionMonthly column

Peter Boisen

In countries which are in the veryearly phase of NGV market introduction the first efforts wouldusually be focused on the introduction of urban fleets of public transportation vehicles including conversions of standardpassenger cars used as taxi cabs.

The main drivers are usuallyimproved air quality and reducedfuelling costs. In well developedeconomies the focus is often shiftingto required emissions of greenhousegases and it will be very interestingto follow how NGVs sales can benefitfrom rapidly sharpened legaldemands concerning tailpipe CO2emissions.

Transportation of heavy goods usingtrucks, non electrified trains, andships is a sector which until now hasrelied on diesel or fuel oil, but wheremethane in the form of liquefied natural gas or liquefied biomethanehas huge volume potentials.

Large truck fleets can via the use ofLNG/LBG contribute to very significant reductions of CO2 emissions and one single ship willconsume as much fuel as thousandsof cars. Legislation both concerningair pollution and CO2 emissions willbe a strong driving force, and themarket success will depend on theability of the industry to provide anadequate refueling structure, ofcourse also future offers of high efficiency engines mainly fueled bymethane.

Instead of re-gasifying all LNGreceived into seaboard terminalssome of the LNG should be transferred to LNG or L-CNG vehiclefilling stations and to ship bunkeringfacilities (mainly bunkering barges).

The potential customers which ourindustry has so far failed to providewith interesting presentations of thepossibilities offered via the combination of natural gas and biomethane are the municipal decision makers. I believe that weneed to develop show cases demonstrating how we in differentparts of the world can step by stepreplace fossil fuels with biomethanemade from domestic renewableresources.

CRYOSTAR has been the leader in radial inflow turbinetechnology for more than 35 years and is now using itsexpertise to answer the rising demand for cleanerenergy, through its CRYOSTAR Clean Energy BusinessUnit created 6 years ago.

In today’s global context of climate change and worldwide political emphasis on preserving the environment, CRYOSTAR Clean Energy has developedsolutions to produce CO2-free energy from renewablesources such as geothermal, solar, biomass, marineenergies, waste heat recovery and geo-pressure.Briefly: natural gas comes out of the ground at a veryhigh pressure, called geopressure.

It is this pressure that moves the gas through thepipelines of the gas transportation & distribution networks. However, the gas at this pressure (between100-800 bars) cannot be used safely by end-users. To be suitable for domestic use (a gas stove forinstance), the gas goes through several “pressure reduction stations” at different stages of the network,where its pressure is lowered by simply expanding itthrough a valve. Expanding the gas releases energywhich is lost when simply using a valve. However, it is possible to recover it by installing aTurboExpander-Generator system in these pressurereduction stations.

A HUGE potential of CO2-free energy generation existsand this is what CRYOSTAR aims to show during thisconference through case studies, workshops andpresentations from the different stakeholders involvedthroughout the supply chain.

RENGE is the FIRST event that brings together international experts from all over the world toexchange their knowledge and ideas about energyrecovery from natural gas expansion. It will take place at the Dollfus&Noack Hall, inSausheim, France, on next 23-25 November

Ever since the first international conference on climate change held in Geneva in 1979, the Rio treatiesin 1992, the Kyoto protocol in 1997 and more recently,Copenhagen 2009, ever increasing emphasis has beenplaced on the need to reduce greenhouse effect gasemissions. Energy recovery from pressure let down cancontribute to reducing these greenhouse effect gas emissions through recovering the energy of the expansion process. With the worldwide natural gas consumptionamounting to 3000 billion cubic meters in 2008 (BP statistical review of world energy), the potential to recover gigawatts of energy is colossal.
