“We are very pleased to be part of an innovative Canadian and American solution to expand the use of LNG. This new station is a major step towards encouraging companies to convert vehicles to run on affordable, environmentally-responsible natural gas,” said Eric Marsh, Executive Vice-President, Encana Corporation & Senior Vice-President, USA Division.
Encana also recently secured a contract with Pivotal LNG, a subsidiary of AGL Resources Inc. which owns and operates a major liquefaction facility. This contract enables Encana to provide LNG to consumers and will generate further opportunities for natural gas in the transportation sector. Moreover, the company has converted nearly half of their fleet field vehicles in Louisiana operations to utilize CNG.
According to GP Strategies Corporation, which provided the fueling technology, the new filling station includes three 16,000-gallon LNG storage tanks and three LNG fuel dispensers and card readers that enable the facility to accommodate a fleet of more than 100 trucks daily.
