Workshop III: Paving the Way in a Competitive Marketplace – Innovation and New Technologies on the Road Ahead for NGVs.
NGVAmerica members represent the entire natural gas vehicle marketplace and are bringing new technologies that will enhance the environmental and economic value propositions for using more natural gas in transportation. This session will provide a sampling of what products will break barriers and help grow the entire industry through lower emissions, innovation, and efficiency.
Renewable Natural Gas (RNG) RNG is increasingly becoming a larger portion of all natural gas used in transportation. How is innovation increasing the opportunity, what is the outlook for more projects and what are the challenges ahead?
Johannes Escudero, Executive Director, Coalition for Renewable Natural Gas.
Light-Duty Vehicles Low petroleum prices have put pressure on all alternative fuels, but strong opportunities remain for light-duty NGVs. Future innovation and optimization can further boost the value of using natural gas in light-duty applications and industry leaders will discuss these opportunities.
Barry Carr, Landi Renzo USA
Brad Douville, Westport Fuel Systems
Heavy-Duty Engines “Near Zero” low NOx engines, next generation high efficiency and other advancements in heavy-duty technologies are entering the marketplace. Hear the latest news and what is coming in the months ahead.
Jerry Johnson, Cummins Westport
Fueling Infrastructure Technology Newly technologies such as advanced methane leakage mitigation and smart dispenser that communicate with the vehicle are examples of innovation that is coming to the modern refueling facility.
Brad Couch, Ariel Corporation
Pipelines/Upstream Emissions/Fracking The environmental community who once embraced natural gas as the “bridge fuel” now attacks this clean, abundant and cheap fuel to advance their renewables agenda. Drilling sites, upstream emissions and pipeline infrastructure are top targets for their criticism. This conversation will get into the tough topics like fracking and help you to have a conversation with a critic.
