About the Workshop

Why we are here: Economic, environmental and national energy security
market drivers are prompting the move to compressed natural gas (CNG)- and
liquefied natural gas (LNG)-powered vehicles.

This is an all day workshop that will cover all the aspects of owning and operating a natural gas fleet. The workshop will end with a tour of a local compressed natural gas fueling station in Warwick, RI.

Topics Include:

• Best Bets: Which fleet/vehicle applications are the best candidates for
  successful NGV programs and why.
• Wheels: Available light-, medium- and heavy-duty NGVs and the sales-service
  channels that support them.
• Fill'er Up: Fuel station design, development, ownership and operations
  options for fleets of all sizes.
• OPM: Identifying and securing available federal and state tax incentives and
  grants, which further improve NGV economics.
• Been There - Done That: NGV fleet operators share experiences and tips.
• Dollars and "Sense": A review of NGV program economics including how to
  calculate fuel costs, simple payback and life-cycle savings.
