As more and more NGVs hit the road, natural gas fuel providers are making sure that the infrastructure expands to keep pace. Because of technological advances in the development of underground pipes and on-site refueling devices, stations can be located almost anywhere that natural gas can be piped. This greatly increases availability and convenience. Today, public-access and privately owned natural gas fueling stations can be found in strategic locations across California, the West Coast and North America. And hundreds more fueling stations are being designed and constructed to meet future demands. Today’s natural gas fueling stations typically offer both Compressed Natural Gas (CNG) and Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG). The preferred fueling method for light to medium NGVs, CNG stations dispense between five and ten gallons per minute. Heavy-duty NGVs with weight and range requirements typically fuel up on LNG, which allows them to store more fuel on board with less tank weight. L/CNG stations can service both types of NGVs by converting LNG into CNG. The advancement we make today in fueling infrastructure will pave the way for tomorrow’s zero-emissions hydrogen-fueled vehicles. |
Why Natural Gas? With the rising cost of petroleum-based gasoline and diesel fuel, tougher emission standards and the growing public demand for better environmental policies, natural gas vehicles provide an attractive alternative with
a multitude of key advantages.
