FUEL DELIVERY
Fuel Delivery is the smallest advanced energy segment, though, as in previous editions of this report, natural
gas pipeline and liquefied natural gas (LNG) terminal construction are not included due to lack of available
data. They do, however, represent significant advanced energy markets that fall under the Fuel Delivery
segment, meaning that the total is therefore considerably understated. As one of the segments with the fewest
contributing subsegments, comprised only of Natural Gas Fueling Stations for commercial- and light-duty
vehicles and Hydrogen Fueling Stations, the annual total is especially susceptible to volatility. In 2015, the global
market significantly declined, down 64%, to $983 million in revenue, from its five-year high of $2.7 billion.

The largest subsegment globally remained light-duty NGV Fueling Stations, with $783 million in revenue, down
41% from 2014. Commercial NGV Fueling Stations, for larger vehicles, also faced substantial decline, down 94%
to $87 million in 2015. After three years of declines, however, Hydrogen Fueling Stations took a leap, to $113
million in revenue, representing 623% growth over 2014’s $16 million, and more than double the previous highwater
mark of $49 million in 2011.
