The Natural Fuel for Transportation LNG - Liquefied Natural Gas David Jaskolski Manager, Fuels Pivotal LNG 1
Pivotal LNG – A part of Southern Company Gas • Pivotal LNG is a wholly owned subsidiary of Southern Company Gas (Formerly AGL Resources) • We own and operate natural gas liquefaction facilities that sell LNG as a clean, safe, economical fuel for transportation and other uses • Southern Company Gas has a rich history that spans more than 150 years. Today, we continue to build upon our reputation as a leader in the natural gas industry. Based in Atlanta GA, we serve 4.5 million customers in 7 states. • Southern Company Gas business segments consist of natural gas distribution operations, retail operations, wholesale services and midstream operations. 2 2
What is LNG? • LNG is the same natural gas that 65 million Americans use in their homes, condensed into liquid form • Turning natural gas into a liquid gives LNG a very high energy density • 1 cubic foot of LNG is equal to 600 cubic feet of natural gas vapor (600 to 1 ratio) • LNG is a very pure form of natural gas - pipeline impurities drop out in the liquefaction process leaving 90% + methane 3
LNG has backed up gas pipeline systems for 50 years 4 4

LNG is safe and environmentally friendly • LNG is not flammable – only natural gas vapor in a concentration of 5% to 15% gas vapor to air is flammable • LNG is not toxic or corrosive • If LNG is spilled, it quickly vaporizes and rises safely into the air • LNG is not under high pressure - stored at atmospheric pressure to 200 PSI • LNG is very cold (-260 degrees at 0 psi) but it is safe to handle with minimal personal protective equipment. 6

LNG can also be used for CNG applications • LNG can be used as a supply for a compressed natural gas (CNG) station when proximity to a large natural gas pipeline or ample electrical supply for compression is not available • This is known as L-CNG 13 13
The simplicity of an L-CNG station – It can be deployed anywhere diesel is used 14 14
LNG is used as a fuel in a variety of applications • Heavy Duty On-Highway Trucks • Marine Vessels (Ocean and River) • Rail • Industrial Process Equipment • Mining / Aggregate/ Heavy Equipment • Oil and Gas Drilling Equipment • Mobile Power Generation 15
UPS is the leader in the deployment of LNG in on highway applications 16
Drayage trucks that use LNG can significantly reduce emissions in non- attainment areas, Already\ successfully deployed in California 17
Florida East Coast Rail is successfully deploying LNG fueled locomotives that run regularly from Jacksonville to Miami 18
LNG fuel tanks are manufactured in Canton, Georgia by Chart Industries 19
Considerable Room for Growth – Natural Gas as a Vehicle Fuel is only 0.13% of the total consumption of natural gas Source - US DOE Alternative Fuels Data Center 20
Key Takeaways • LNG is not new, it has been used to backup the natural gas pipeline system for 50 years • LNG is a safe, natural, environmentally friendly fuel. The same natural gas you use at home, but in a portable liquid form. • LNG can be deployed anywhere diesel is currently used. No pipeline or electrical infrastructure required • LNG is successfully being used in the southeast to fuel trucks, locomotives and ships 21
