Heavy-Duty Compressed Natural Gas Refueling Station to Launch in Maine City
In the Maine city of Westbrook, American Natural Gas, LLC, will launch a natural Gas Refueling Station. Businesses, municipalities and citizens of the city and surrounding communities will soon be able to fuel with compressed natural gas (CNG). American Natural Gas, LLC (ANG) announced the company is permitting and constructing a public, heavy-duty CNG fueling facility in Westbrook. The refueling station is already in development. The facility will serve Casella Waste, Westbrook and surrounding areas. Compared to current diesel trucks, these CNG-powered vehicles will benefit the community at-large by reducing greenhouse gas emissions, particulate matter and noise. Perhaps more significantly, the new facility could spark systematic change, as additional businesses express interest in converting their fleets.
According to Maine Clean Communities Coordinator Steve Linnell, “A lot of people are really excited about the prospect of public CNG fueling.” Maine Clean Communities is one of nearly 100 Clean Cites Coalitions around the country that promote alternative fuels in transportation in order to reduce our use of imported petroleum as well as harmful emissions. Linnell continued his enthusiasm, saying, “ANG’s facility will provide an ideal location for businesses that are thinking of switching to CNG. Along with transit, trash trucks are the optimum fleet vehicles for realizing a return on investment.”
American Natural Gas, LLC (ANG) is a premier distributor of alternative motor fuels in the Northeast. ANG designs, builds, owns, operates and maintains natural gas fueling stations for transportation.
