If you do not have either of these types of vehicles, you would need to hire a certified CNG installer to install a conversion kit for your car if you would like to use CNG fuel rather than gasoline or diesel. There are many benefits to using CNG. Not only does it make vehicles quieter, it can also lead to more jobs being created. LNG, also known as liquefied natural gas, is natural gas methane cooled down to liquid form. The reason for liquefying natural gas is for shipping and storage purposes.
By liquefying the natural gas, it reduces its volume by times in comparison to its gaseous state. Once LNG arrives at a terminal, it can be restored to its gaseous state. On the local Chicago and Northwest Indiana scale, there are many companies that currently use CNG fuel for their fleets or are in the process of converting to CNG vehicles.
Trucks in Our Fleet Run on CNG Homewod Disposal began transitioning to trucks that run on compressed natural gas in and since then have introduced dozens of CNG trucks into our local residential and commercial routes. A good portion of the new trucks we purchase each year are now CNG-powered. If you do notice them, many of our CNG-powered trucks feature a picture of a nature scene on the side to remind us of the beautiful landscapes we are helping preserve.
We also opened two public fueling stations in Homewood, Illinois and Gary, Indiana. He has worked for both local and national firms giving him a wide and varied experience in all levels of management. Mike joined CNG Fuels in He is also the winner of the REA Champion Award for for being the driving force behind the development of biomethane injection in the UK.

Compared to your current mileage and diesel cost CNG Fuels estimates that this would be your annual fuel cost saving by switching to CNG. Using your fuel cost savings this payback period is the estimated amount of time it takes for the fuel cost savings to pay for this additional capex.
It accounts for the additional vehicle capex. Driving customer's fleet transition to zero carbon emissions. Fast-fill: Generally, fast-fill stations are best suited for retail situations where vehicles arrive randomly and need to fill up quickly. All public CNG stations have a fast-fill option.
For a station serving light-duty vehicles, the space needed to store the equipment measures about the size of a parking space. Fast-fill stations receive fuel from a local utility line at a low pressure and then use a compressor on site to compress the gas to a high pressure.
Once compressed, the CNG moves to a series of storage vessels so the fuel is available for a quick fill-up. CNG can also be delivered via dispensers alongside gasoline or other fuel dispensers.
Drivers fueling light-duty vehicles at a fast-fill station experience similar fill times to a conventional gasoline fueling station—less than 5 minutes for a gallon-equivalent tank. Large truck and bus stations will fill at twice that rate. CNG at fast-fill stations is often stored in the vessels at a high service pressure 4, psi so the dispenser can deliver it to a vehicle quickly. The dispenser uses sensors to calculate pressure and measure the number of gasoline gallon equivalents GGEs delivered to the tank, taking temperature into account.
Time-fill: Time-fill stations are used primarily by fleets and work best for vehicles with large tanks that refuel at a central location every night. At a time-fill station, a fuel line from a utility delivers CNG at a low pressure to a compressor on site.
