Clean Energy’s Natural Gas Highway
February 8th, 2012 by Fiedler Group
Across interstate highways and major metropolitan areas, a network of liquefied natural gas (LNG) truck fueling stations are being built by Clean Energy — America’s largest provider of natural gas fuel for transportation.
For heavy-duty vehicle applications — such as long-haul trucks — LNG is the most viable option for long-range use.
That’s why major highway segments planned include San Diego-Los Angeles-Riverside-Las Vegas; the Texas Triangle (Houston-San Antonio-Dallas/Ft. Worth); Los Angeles-Dallas; Houston-Chicago; Chicago-Atlanta; and a network of stations along corridors in the Mid-West region.
The first phase of the Natural Gas Highway includes 150 fueling stations; 70 of which are scheduled to be open in 33 states by the end of 2012.
Benefits of LNG fuel include:
- Up to $1.50 per gallon savings
- High-mileage truck cost payback less than a year
- Lowers greenhouse gas emissions
- Reduces dependence on imported oil
- Creates job
- Grows our economy
As a part of the initiative, Fiedler Group was given the opportunity to participate in the programs’ site adapt civil design, permitting, and program management efforts for new facilities from California to New York, and Illinois to Florida.
The Clean Energy / Fiedler Group relationship was established 16 years ago, and our design team looks forward to providing engineering services over the next several years of the Natural Gas Highway facility rollout.
