The joint venture is focused on the rapidly growing North American market for storage and transportation of CNG. Driving market demand is the widely publicized extraction of natural gas from more than 20 major shale oil basins in the USA, as well as several locations in Canada.
“Using our composite cylinder gas transports is an efficient and economical way to transport natural gas from remote production sites. We essentially provide portable pipelines,” said Michael Koonce, owner of IGX and now president of the joint venture. “Our customers are now able to switch to natural gas as a fuel source and thereby cut their energy costs by more than half, which can mean millions in some cases.”
The company’s modules can be configured to fit all standard ISO intermodal containers routinely transported by trucks, trains, barges and ships around the world. Custom-designed modules are also available.
