NG Advantage™ Extends the Benefits of Natural Gas Beyond the Pipeline
Natural Gas Flowing for Off-Pipeline Customers
NG Advantage serving customer site with trucked compressed natural gas.
In March 2013, NG Advantage’s first customer, Soundview Vermont Holdings LLC ("Soundview") began using natural gas instead of oil as boiler fuel for its recycled tissue, towel, and napkin operations in Putney, Vermont. Trucks from NG Advantage have been delivering compressed natural gas (CNG) to Soundview from NG Advantage's compressor station in Milton.
These deliveries mark an important proof of concept for trucked CNG in the United States. For the first time, we are able to bring the significant economic and environmental benefits of compressed natural gas to companies off the pipeline. NG Advantage's service represents a game-changer for the regional economy and energy-intensive industries that are not connected to a pipeline. Our customers tell us that the cost savings are big enough to cover their conversion costs in the first few months of operation. They are also relieved not to be subject to the geopolitical uncertainties of the oil supply.
At the heart of everything we do are the companies we serve. We're proud to offer customers throughout New England and New York the economic and environmental benefits of natural gas. Improving the bottom line for our customers is a win all around.
