Presentations

Natural gas vehicles (NGV) are finding growing demand throughout North America, including Mexico, according to presentations at the recent NGV Global 2012 conference in Mexico City. Tepeapulco, Mexico-based Dina Camiones said it has an order for 50 compressed natural gas (CNG)-fueled intercity-suburban route buses that would be built in 2013 for use in the Guadalajara area. With a range of more than 500 miles, the buses include 8.9-liter ISL G engines from Cummins Westport and advanced carbon fiber-on-aluminum CNG fuel cylinders from Luxfer.

The story related time and again by natural gas producers in their 2Q2009 earnings presentations has been the same at both large and small natural gas-weighted independents: lower costs and hedging cushioned the impact of low prices, but better technology continues to boost output.

In separate presentations to analysts in New York this week, the heads of energy giants, Exxon Mobil Corp. and Chevron Corp. mapped out their companies’ respective plans for future growth in the ever-evolving energy industry.

Presentations were made, questions raised, and most important, assumptions aired during last Tuesday’s kickoff meeting in Sacramento for the Western Governors’ Association (WGA) natural gas supply/demand study of the West region of North America. Additional input before the research begins is due to the California Energy Commission (CEC) by July 7.
