Question of the Month What are the key terms to know when discussing natural gas vehicles (NGVs) and their fueling infrastructure?

As with all alternative fuels, it is important to know how to “talk the talk” when it comes to natural gas. Becoming familiar with the terms below will help you better understand NGVs and the associated fueling infrastructure, so that you can ask the right questions and make informed decisions:

Fuel Types

• Compressed Natural Gas (CNG): CNG is one of two forms of natural gas used to power vehicles. CNG is a gaseous fuel stored in a cylinder on the vehicle at a high pressure (see “psi” below). It may be kept in the vehicle cylinder for long periods of time without venting. A CNG vehicle gets about the same fuel economy as a conventional gasoline vehicle on a gasoline gallon equivalent basis (see “GGE” below). CNG is used in light-, medium-, and heavy-duty vehicle applications. • Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG): LNG is produced by super-cooling natural gas to negative 260°F in order to convert it to a liquid. The fuel is stored in a double-walled, vacuum-sealed pressure vessel. LNG is appropriate for trucks and other heavy-duty applications that require a long range because liquid is more dense than gas (CNG) and more energy can be stored by volume in the vehicle’s tank. LNG stored in a vehicle will increase in temperature and pressure over time and vent; therefore, LNG should be used within a week or two of fueling. • Renewable Natural Gas (RNG): Also known as biogas or biomethane, this emerging fuel source is derived from decaying organic materials, such as waste from plants, landfills, wastewater, and livestock. After purification, RNG may be compressed or liquefied to fuel vehicles.

Vehicle Types Natural Gas Vehicle (NGV), there are three different types of NGVs available: • Dedicated Vehicle: Dedicated vehicles are designed to run only on natural gas and are used in both lightduty and heavy-duty applications. In general, dedicated NGVs demonstrate better performance and have lower emissions than bi-fuel vehicles (see below). • Bi-fuel Vehicle: These vehicles are able to run on either natural gas or gasoline because they have two separate fueling systems. Bi-fuel vehicles are typically light-duty models. • Dual-fuel Vehicle: These vehicles are traditionally used in heavy-duty applications and have fuel systems that run on natural gas, but use diesel fuel for ignition.

Fuel Measurement and Characteristics CNG and LNG may be measured in:

• Gasoline Gallon Equivalents (GGE): A unit of measure that represents the quantity of fuel that contains the same amount of energy as one gallon of gasoline. Measuring fuel in GGEs is a good way of comparing natural gas to gasoline, particularly when looking at fuel price or range. A GGE is equal to about 5.66 pounds of CNG and 1.55 gallons of LNG.* • Diesel Gallon Equivalent (DGE): A unit of measure that represents the quantity of fuel that contains the same amount of energy as one gallon of diesel. A GGE is equal to about 6.34 pounds of CNG and 1.72 gallons of LNG.*

August ReFUEL | 6


CNG is also measured in: • Cubic feet (ft3): CNG is a gas, so it may be measured by volume. MCF represents 1,000 cubic feet. • Pounds (lbs.): CNG may also be measured in mass. Approximately 21 feet of CNG equals one pound. LNG is also measured in gallons, much like gasoline or diesel. Pounds per Square Inch (psi): Psi is a measurement of the CNG pressure when it is stored in a dispenser or vehicle cylinder. CNG is typically stored onboard a vehicle at a pressure of 3,000 to 3,600 psi. The vehicle psi rating is important because it indicates the psi that the fuel system, vehicle cylinder, and the safety hardware are capable of handling safely.

Station Components

CNG stations have the following components: • Compressor: The device used to compress CNG to a high pressure. • Storage Tank: Once the gas is compressed, the CNG is moved to storage vessel(s) or tank(s) specially designed for the fuel. • Temperature Compensation: The temperature of CNG is important because it affects the density and energy per unit volume of the fuel. At higher temperatures, CNG expands and becomes less dense, causing it to contain less energy per unit volume as it would at a lower temperature. The temperature compensation devices ensure that the CNG is delivered to the vehicle at the appropriate temperature. • Dispenser: The device used to transfer CNG into a vehicle’s tank. A CNG typically dispenser displays the pressure and temperature at which the tank is being filled and then calculates the amount of fuel being delivered. LNG stations also have storage tanks and dispensers, but do not require a compressor or temperature compensation devices.

CNG Infrastructure Types

The following are two different types of CNG infrastructure: • Fast-fill: Drivers fueling their vehicles at a fast-fill station can fill up in approximately the same amount of time as a conventional vehicle at a gasoline or diesel station. This set-up is best suited for retail stations, where vehicles arrive in need of a quick fill, and CNG can be dispensed alongside gasoline or other fuel dispensers. Fast-fill stations receive low-pressure fuel from the local utility line and employ a compressor on site. Once compressed, the CNG is stored at high pressures so it can be delivered quickly to a vehicle. As such, fast-fill stations may have smaller compressors but a larger storage capacity than time-fill stations. • Time-fill: At a time-fill station, a vehicle may take several minutes to many hours to fill up; the time depends on the number of vehicles fueling, compressor size, and storage. Time-fill stations are typically used for fleets with central refueling locations or private stations that allow vehicles to fill up overnight. Time-fill stations can also work for smaller applications, such as residential fueling infrastructure. The fuel is also drawn from a local utility line into a compressor on site. Time-fill stations may have larger compressors and the vehicles are generally filled directly from the compressor, not from fuel stored in tanks. Time-fill stations have an advantage over fast-fill stations in that their heat of recompression is less so that vehicles at these stations usually get a fuller tank of fuel than with fast-fill. *The equivalency values provided here were calculated based on lower heating values for gasoline and diesel. These metrics vary across the country. The TRS encourages readers to contact their local gas provider and/or state weights and measures agency for the values used in their jurisdictions.

Additional information on natural gas production and distribution, NGVs, and natural gas infrastructure can be found on the Alternative Fuel Data Center website (http://www.afdc.energy.gov/fuels/natural_gas. html). The NGVAmerica website also provides a wealth of information on natural gas and NGVs (http:// www.ngvc.org/) 7 | August ReFUEL

Summertime Planning For a Cleaner School Year

S

ummer is the time for school districts and bus companies to take stock of their fleet operations and make improvements, ensuring cleaner buses and therefore cleaner air for the next batch of schoolchildren in the fall. On July 16th, twenty school bus fleets and administrators gathered at UW-Green Bay for the Alternative Fuel and Advanced Technology School Bus Workshop sponsored by Wisconsin Clean Cities and the State Energy Office through the Forwarding Wisconsin’s Fuel Choice grant. Attendees listened to a variety of speakers presenting on different options to reduce their fueling costs and decrease emissions. A propane school bus was on hand at the event for attendees to look under the hood and drive. Topics and presenters included the following: • Available Funding from the WI DNR – Jessica Lawent, WI DNR • Reduce Idling by Using Heaters – Dale Peay, Espar Heater Systems • Emission Reduction Technologies – Phil Surma, Maxx Air Group • Propane Buses – Rich Nelson, Wisconsin Bus Sales • Greening your Fleet – Harry Steenbock, Hortonville Area School District

Above: Dale Peay discusses ways to reduce idling. Below: WCC’s Heather Goetsch presents an overview on the Forwarding Wisconsin Fuel Choice grant and useful Clean Cities’ tools and resources.

Forwarding Wisconsin’s Fuel Choice is supported by the Department of Energy through the Clean Cities’ Implementation Initiatives to Advance Alternative Fuel Markets program. Under these projects, local public-private partnerships are accelerating the deployment of alternative fuel vehicles and conducting public outreach and training in communities across the country. Since 1993, the Energy Department’s Clean Cities initiative has supported community-led efforts to deploy vehicle and infrastructure technologies across a broad portfolio of alternative fuels, helping to reduce America’s reliance on petroleum.

Cold Weather Prep for School Buses: Diesel-Fired Engine Coolant Heaters Submitted by: Bob Giguere, Inland Power Group

Become an informed buyer Today, diesel-fired engine coolant heaters are are simple to operate, and maintenance is minimal across brands and models. Features vary depending on the needs of the school bus company, so here are some items to consider: 1) Most diesel-fired coolant heaters are thermostatically controlled and either operated with an on/off toggle switch or an optional programmable timer. Using a programmable timer reduces early morning hours for fleet personnel for further cost savings. Various timers are available, but the greater number of days/preprogrammed events, the more flexibility for your fleet.

Benefits • • • • • • • •

Comply with “No Idle” or “limited idle” policies in many areas Fuel & Engine Maintenance Savings To meet heating requirements for children’s comfort To avoid “no start” issues on cold mornings Self-contained heating, with no electric cords or outlets to deal with Driver comfort, morale, and safety on cold mornings Pollution reduction (clean air; good publicity) Grant support; contact Bob Giguere for availability and EPA Smartway Approval.

2) Since warm coolant flow is essential to ensuring an adequate temperature to start the engine and to circulate heat throughout the bus, consider a high capacity coolant pump. 3) Heat output determines the device’s ability to warm the engine and sometimes the cabin. As a rule of thumb, anything rated at 45,000 BTU or greater is sufficient for a 71-passenger bus. Heaters are available as enclosed self-contained units or stand-alone heaters. The enclosed unit provides for easier installation and helps protect the heater from the elements. It is recommended to look for a kit that includes all the required harnesses, brackets, connectors and controls supplied in one box rather than to buy a stand-alone heater and have to source the other parts separately. A diesel-fired heater operates by heating the cold coolant from the engine’s block, then pumping it back to the vehicle’s engine and heat exchangers. The result is a preheated engine with an abundance of interior heat.

How to pay for it Although some new school buses can be ordered with factory installed idle reduction heaters, and there is a definite cost savings through reduced fuel consumption, engine maintenance and labor, a big concern for school bus fleets may be the cost of upgrading their existing buses.

Clean diesel grant funding from a number of sources is also available to help offset some or most of the cost. While the grant application process can be overwhelming for many school bus companies, the good news is that some heater distributors have trained staff to help apply. If you need help starting the process, just ask the product distributor. Together, we can provide cleaner air for our children and the community while reducing operating costs, and save fuel.

FLEETS ACROSS THE U.S.: How Other Fleets Are Using Alternative Fuels And Vehicles

Largest Propane Autogas School Bus Purchase in History Hits the Road

T

he last bus in an order of 434 propane-fueled buses for Student Transportation of America’s (STA) new terminal in Omaha, NE was delivered earlier in July. Before handing the bus over, Blue Bird and ROUSH CleanTech, leading providers of propane autogas powered school buses and fuel systems, took a Road Tour of iconic American landmarks to raise awareness of propane autogas as a clean, safe and efficient alternative fuel for school bus use that is more cost-effective than diesel.

“Domestically produced, clean-burning propane autogas is a perfect fit for school fleets. This large deployment is the catalyst that alternative fuels needs to become a viable and reliable fuel source for school transportation. We welcome the opportunity to showcase Omaha to the country as a model community in which private enterprise and public education can partner to create a world-class transportation system. - Denis J. Gallagher, chair and CEO of Student Transportation Inc.

Built on a Blue Bird chassis and powered by a Ford 6.8-liter V-10 engine with the ROUSH CleanTech dedicated propane autogas fuel system, the Type C school bus offers 362 horsepower, 457 pounds of torque, and fuel cost savings of 40 to 50 percent. These buses reduce carbon monoxide, nitrogen oxide, and total hydrocarbon emissions, and virtually eliminate particulate matter. The noise levels on the bus are decreased by as much as 50 percent, making it easier to hear the children on board. As the bus toured through five states before reaching its destination, it made stops at existing public propane autogas stations, proving that the refueling network is viable.
