Why CNG?
CNG offers:
Quick startup, minimal approval
level
Low up front commitment by end
customer to capitalize on benefits
Flexibility in utilization of mobile
equipment for the operators

Why CNG?
9
CNG Can Play an Important Part in Corporate Env. Impact Strategies
Tangible Environmental Benefits
Reduces CO2 by 25%
Cuts Carbon Monoxide by 90%
Cuts Mercury by 100%
Cuts Sulfur Dioxide by 99.9%
Cuts Particulates by 91%
Cuts Nitrogen Oxide by 78%

Why Distributed CNG?
10
Many Regions of the U.S. Lack Adequate Pipeline Infrastructure
Natural gas is an abundant,
domestic resource
Where existing service is not
in place development can
often be a lengthy process
Traditional pipeline
development can exceed $2.4
million per mile
Virtual pipelines offer utility
LDCs the ability to extend
service range

TNG Solutions for Fleet Fueling
Low capital cost, highly flexible onsite fleet fueling
Private or public fueling site setup without the prohibitive infrastructure costs of a traditional pipeline station
Lack of pipeline access, not a problem
CNG delivered with the same reliable off-pipeline service to fleets as industrial clients experience
Doorstep service allows focus on core business
Similar to traditional diesel “wet hosing”, TNG eliminates excess driver costs from leaving routes to fuel and waiting in lengthy queues
Onsite CNG Delivered at a Lower Cost per DGE than
Traditional Pipeline Fueling Stations

Business Case for CNG
CNG vs. Diesel Tractor Savings Approach $30K per Year
36
Difference between a diesel and a NG tractor at $70k is repaid in 2.3yrs
A $200k tractor financed properly has positive cash flow to the driver immediately,
and repays loans 40-50% more quickly than diesel

TNG Program
39
We operate the largest CNG-powered trucking
fleet in northern New England.
Expanding into the greater Northeast corridor
and Pacific Northwest early next year.
We share fleet experience with operators who
are evaluating CNG transportation for their own
companies.
Looking to partner with companies that have
active trucking interests and a strong
environmental commitment for an expanded pilot
of Natural Gas fleet fueling in these markets.
Our terminals are located on the major
pipelines covering the northeast,
providing complete gas coverage for most
major fleet operators
Demonstrate Savings vs. Traditional Pipeline Stations to
Accelerate Industry Transformation

Webinar Summary
40
CNG fuel offers positive economic
and environmental benefits
Distributed CNG can lower the
barrier for fleet operators
considering conversion to CNG
Composite trailers allow efficient
and safe movement of CNG
Mobile fueling can offer a reliable
and cost effective alternative to
traditional pipeline stations
XNG puts Broadwind-SAFE and Hexagon Composites innovative
technologies to work offering fleet operators a full scope of TNG services
– vehicle engine conversion, financing, on-site metering and dispensing
