US: green partnerships to build two CNG fueling sites

Both projects will be public-private partnerships and are being partially funded by Congestion, Mitigation, and Air Quality (CMAQ) grant monies through the North Front Range MPO and DRCOG along with matching funds from Mansfield, Anadarko, Noble Energy, and Encana – all local Natural Gas Coalition partners within the Oil & Gas Industry. “Building two stations that include a public-private offering gives our local businesses and residents the opportunity to consider natural gas vehicles as a viable option for transportation,” said Weld County Commissioner Barbara Kirkmeyer.

In addition, Larry Ozier, President of Mansfield Gas Equipment Systems, stated: “Infrastructure has been the greatest challenge to overcome in adopting CNG as a transportation fuel. With the construction of our two sites in Weld County, in addition to many other sites across the country, we’re helping customers evaluate and implement a CNG solution as a realistic option to meet their fueling needs.”

Mansfield’s sites, which will be open to the public 24 hours a day, will offer dual hose fast fill dispensers to provide fueling for light, medium and heavy duty NGVs. The CNG stations will also include a Mansfield Fuel Management System (FMS) that will record and process all transactions and provide a receipt to public consumers as well as reporting capabilities for private/government sector customers.
