Turn-key design and installation services offered by Clean Energy
"With NGV Easy Bay™, customers now have an unprecedented and
cost-effective option available to adapt their facility for NGVs," said
Tim Newman, general manager of Clean
Energy's facility modification group. "As fleets across the country
convert their vehicles to natural gas, a growing need has emerged for a
scalable and practical solution to modify facilities. NGV Easy Bay™
meets these needs remarkably well."
NGV
Easy Bay™ eliminates the costly and time-consuming requirements of
conventional construction approaches by using industrial fabrics
rigorously tested to meet ASTM standards for exposure to compressed
natural gas and liquefied natural gas. This unique application is part
of a suite of turnkey design and modification services offered by Clean
Energy's in-house team of NGV
facility modification specialists. This team works with each
customer to assess each fleet's unique needs. Recommendations are made
to bring each facility into code-compliance. Providing low cost
solutions for facility modification projects is another way Clean Energy
helps make fueling with cleaner and more cost-effective natural gas fuel
a reality for fleets of all sizes.
Natural
gas fuel costs up to $1.50 less per gallon than gasoline or diesel,
depending on local market conditions. The use of natural gas fuel not
only reduces operating costs for vehicles, but also reduces greenhouse
gas emissions up to 30% in light-duty vehicles and 23% in medium to
heavy-duty vehicles. In addition, nearly all natural gas consumed in
North America is produced domestically.
