According to Monarch Senior Vice President of Operations, Fred Dufour, having their station onsite represents a huge time saver as they were forced to drive 22 miles to a public fueling station prior to constructing their own. "We wanted to get close to a diesel fill rate, and I think we're there. Every load we're taking 60 gallons or less and filling in seven to eight minutes," he added

New Jersey Natural Gas has entered into agreements with three host facilities, and will spend between $6 million and $8 million to install, own and maintain the CNG infrastructure. Each host facility will be required to initially use at least 20 percent of the fueling capacity and make the stations open to the public. This investment will help stimulate New Jersey’s market for NGVs, while also providing economic and environmental benefits. NJNG will earn an immediate overall return of 7.1 percent, including a 10.3 percent return on equity, on its investment.

The CNG station is located in Bristol and opened on Abril 19. It will be mainly used by Waste Management's fleet of garbage trucks, which serve Bucks County and other areas around Philadelphia, but will also be public access. "Pennsylvania's natural gas development is changing the way we live, work and save," Tom Corbett said at the ribbon cutting ceremony.

The new public-access facility is located in Houston’s Galleria shopping district at 2109 McCue Rd, adjacent to Apache’s corporate headquarters. The grand opening ceremony, held on March 22, was attended by Steve Farris, Apache’s Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, and about 150 guests. In addition, a number of Houston-based dealers/installers and OEMs exhibited a selection of CNG-powered vehicles.
