Current Problem…
Diesel! Incredibly energy dense fuel source but… 74 million tonnes of CO2 per year - 500,000 acres of forest Price instability – 1c variation in price = $250,000 in annual budget Increasing maintenance costs – EPA requirements, DPF issues etc.

The Options…. Hybrids
- Diesel/Electric, Series/Parallel etc.
Gasoline
- For the right size vehicle
Electric
- Long Range / Short Range
Renewable Diesel
- Biomass etc.
Hydrogen
- Fuel Cell (Ballard)
LNG
- Not really considered for return to base fuelling

The Issues…. CNG
- Infrastructure
Hybrids
- Have not delivered
Gasoline
- Torque and performance
Electric
- Infrastructure & what does the energy chain look like?
Renewable Diesel
- looking at it!
Hydrogen
- new but promising – use CNG to generate Hydrogen
Where do our environmental responsibilities lie? Locally? Provincially? Nationally?

CT approach is one of balance
- Long term viability of diesel?
- Single solution is unlikely today
- Fuel diversification added expense but protects against market
- Right vehicle for the right role is key for environmental and efficient progress
