Incremental Costs : 

Incremental Costs Truck Cost vs. Diesel CNG, $50,000 to $60,000 LNG, $30,000 to $40,000 Fuel CNG < Diesel by 20-40% (including station) LNG > Diesel by 10-30% (excluding station) Weight (60 DGE) CNG > 1,000 pounds LNG > 400 pounds

LNG Infrastructure: 

LNG Infrastructure $600,000 will provide a LNG station capable of fueling 50 trucks Fast fill $750,000 will provide a CNG station capable of fueling up to 75 trucks Time fill Limited fast fill

Station Maintenance (DGE): 

Station Maintenance (DGE) LNG Small O&M, typically $.03-.04 cents/gallon CNG Larger cost, especially for low volumes Large fleets see $.08-.10 cents/gallon

LNG Infrastructure: 

LNG Infrastructure Fuel is dispensed at 40+ gallons per minute Transparent to diesel Fuelers required to wear gloves & face shield Very low power requirements vs. CNG LNG is stored at –260 F Use insulated tanks – limited shelf life LNG is not Odorized Methane detectors at fueling station and bus required Longer Station Permitting Process Local Fire Marshals generally less familiar with LNG than CNG

CNG vs. LNG: 

CNG vs. LNG $/gallon - CNG advantage CNG, even when fully burden with equipment and O&M LNG delivered cost is 1.5 to 2 that of CNG from LDC LNG is subject to local sales tax (8%), CNG from pipeline is not Stations - LNG advantage Lower equipment/installation cost, as much as 50%! Operation, much lower power and labor requirements
