4. Development of Commercial Hydrogen and Natural Gas Fuel Infrastructure

Clean Cities Programs

Worked with USDOE to develop the Atlanta Clean Cities Program, the first Clean City. Supported formation of Gold Coast, SunCoast, and Space Coast, Florida, Clean Cities Initiatives. Ongoing participation in market development activities, with emphasis on hydrogen, natural gas, and hybrid-electric drive technologies.

Natural Gas Vehicle (NGV) Fueling Infrastructure, GA, FL, CA, NV, AZ and TX
Tren*Fuels, Inc. and FleetStar, Austin, TX

Helped plan and install eleven automated, public access NGV fuel stations.

Feasibility Study: Natural Gas Vehicle Conversion
for Mexico City, USTDA, WDC

Prepared the English draft of the feasibility study and multimedia CD-ROM presentation for the Mexico City natural gas vehicle (NGV) conversion program. The study recommended investment of $1.1 billion to convert 138,000 medium and light duty fleet vehicles to NGVs and construction of over 700 private and public access refueling stations. Program would reduce vehicular emissions of CO and O3 precursors by 1,300,000 tons/yr.

Production of LNG from Digester Biogas –
Johnson Controls, Broward County, Florida

Prepared feasibility analysis and plans, specifications and cost-estimates for a project to convert biogas produced by anaerobic digestion of municipal sludge into liquid methane (LNG) and liquid carbon dioxide (LCO2).

5. NGV (LNG & CNG) Market Assessments and Business Plans

Investor and Municipal Owned Electric and Gas Utilities — Florida

Developed business plans for NGV refueling infrastructure 32 Florida counties, including analysis of fleet vehicle locations, incentives, and mandates for fleet vehicle conversions.

Liquefied Natural Gas Vehicle Technology
Jack B. Kelley, Inc. — Amarillo, Texas

Provided marketing and sales support to the leading supplier of cryogenic equipment and services for heavy-duty truck operations, including LNG storage tanks, vehicular tanks and automated LNG and LNG-to-LCNG refueling systems. JBK has installed more than ten LNG fuel stations, including the LAX LNG shuttle bus fleet; Santa Fe-Union Pacific Railroad switcher locomotives in Commerce, CA; JBK Terminals in Woods Cross, UT, San Manual, AZ; and Denver, CO.

LNG Import Terminal at Elba Island -- Southern Natural Gas,
Savannah, Georgia

Provided engineering services to obtain environmental permits for terminal dredging and thermal discharges from gasifier. Performed facility fire safety review and marine safety review.

Performance Evaluation of LNG Fuels in Heavy-Duty Trucks
Jack B. Kelley, Inc. -- Amarillo, TX, Utah Energy Office — Salt Lake City, UT
National Renewable Energy Laboratory — Golden, CO

Jack B. Kelley, Inc. operates a fleet of dedicated LNG Class 8 tractors in line-haul service at several locations in Arizona, Utah, and California. Supported contract to report vehicle performance to NREL AFDC. Wrote and edited training manuals for fleet owners, executives, drivers and operators.

Market Development for Thermal Acoustic LNG Production System -- TADOPTR
