The document discusses the potential of compressed natural gas (CNG) as a future fuel source, highlighting its advantages over oil and coal in meeting energy needs. It details the economic impact of the Haynesville Shale, including projections for business sales and job creation from 2010 to 2014, and outlines various incentives for adopting CNG vehicles and infrastructure in Louisiana. Additionally, it describes the types of CNG vehicles and filling stations, emphasizing the financial considerations and incentives available for transitioning to CNG.

1. The Haynesville Shale & Compressed Natural Gas The Fuel of the Future

2. Why Natural Gas – Why Now US Sources of Energy Oil 39% Natural Gas 23% Coal 22% Nuclear 8% Renewables 7% Fossil Fuels

3. 7% of Americas Energy Infrastructure Made up of Renewable Energy

4. 70% of US Oil Consumption in Transportation 96% of Transportation Fuel comes from OIL

7. Natural Gas

8. OIL GAS

9. Conventional Play Risk Level High – as much as 50 – 90% Find Zone Reservoir Quality Characteristics Trapping Mechanism Source for Oil and Gas to Migrate into the Trap If just one of these characteristics is missing, you have just drilled a dry hole.

10. Non-Conventional “Resource Play” Technology Driven Continuous-type deposit low to no risk Long life reserves Assembly-line operations

11. Gas is set to play a key role in meeting the world’s energy needs Gas glut will peak soon, but may dissipate only very slowly Lower prices could lead to stronger demands for gas, backing out renewables & coal in power generation Source IEA

13. Number One Producing Natural Gas Field in the U.S. - 5.5 Billion Cubic Feet Per Day

14. Projected Economic Impact Haynesville Shale 2010 - 14 Year Business Sales Household Earnings Jobs 2010 $17 Billion $4 Billion 111,329 2011 $12 Billion $3 Billion 76,339 2012 $11 Billion $3 Billion 69,424 2013 $11 Billion $3 Billion 62,883 2014 $11 Billion $3 Billion 60,637

20. What is CNG? Compressed Natural Gas is it same gas that scrambles your eggs each morning or heats your water in the winter Natural gas is compressed under high pressure at the filling location and then is dispensed into the vehicle It is stored under high pressure in cylinders until the fuel is released to power the car or truck

21. Filling Stations There are different “types” of filling stations For commercial applications there are 2 main filling station formats Slow fill – this station requires much smaller generators and compressors and generally fill vehicles at a much slower rate Fast fill – this resembles typical gasoline station and requires large compressors, generators and storage cylinders – fill rate is equivalent to gasoline fill rate Home fueling – this is the smallest and least expensive. Is mounted to the garage and fills very slowly – approximately 1gge/hour – generally an overnight process

22. Vehicles There are 2 types of CNG vehicles – Dedicated and Bi-fuel Dedicated – These vehicles have been designed for CNG use and can only be powered by CNG. They are ordered from the OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer). They are less flexible than a bi-fuel vehicle but have benefits of intentional design. Eligible for Federal and State Incentives Bi-Fuel – These vehicles have the ability to switch from gasoline to CNG and back as needed. These vehicles are light-medium duty fleet and consumer vehicles that have been “Converted” post-plant. Eligible for State Incentives only

23. Louisiana CNG Incentives Alternative fueled vehicles state tax credit 50% of the incremental cost of new CNG vehicles** Must be billed for incremental cost on additional invoice or else is limited to $3000 or 10% of vehicle cost 50% of the incremental cost of a conversion Alternative fueling station state tax credit 50% of the cost of the fueling equipment Transportation Efficiency & Alternative Fuels Program 50% of differential cost of dedicated or converted mass transit or school buses – $50,000 max each 50% of differential cost of dedicated or converted fleet vehicles – $25,000 max each Up to 50% of the cost of 4 quick fill CNG fueling stations up to a maximum of $1.25 million.

24. DNR Alternative Fuels Revolving Loan Program Act No. 118 of the 2010 Regular Session Funded by grants, donations, or money appropriated by the legislature Loans to political subdivisions for the conversion of fleets to alternative fuels Interest rate at or below market rate Repayment period of up to 10 years
