Myth #6: LNG won’t be available in sufficient supply to meet eventual demand.
Fact: While CNG is supplied from pipeline infrastructure directly to CNG fueling stations, LNG requires bulk transport from liquefaction sites to fueling stations. There are several major natural gas liquefaction plants across the country. Peak shaving plants that once were used for meeting peak winter day demands for natural gas utilities are now providing LNG […]

Myth #5: There are not enough engine and tractor options to power a fleet of Class 8 tractors.
Fact: There are currently three engine choices on the market for Class 8 LNG applications – 8.9- and 11.9-liter spark-ignited engines and a 15-liter high pressure direct injection (HPDI) engine that burns a 5 percent diesel and 95 percent LNG blend. The 11.9-liter option, the Cummins ISX12 G became available earlier this year, filling the […]

Myth #4: It takes too long to refuel natural gas tractors.
Fact: While this statement may be true for CNG tractors, LNG tractors actually fuel at a comparable rate to diesel tractors at a rate of 12 or more DGEs per minute. LNG refueling requires the use of gloves and protective eyewear to protect drivers from exposure to unintentional release of cryogenic LNG. In addition, drivers […]

Myth #3: The spread between diesel and natural gas isn’t enough to justify switching to natural gas.
Fact: The spread between diesel price – currently over $4 per gallon – and the diesel gallon equivalent (DGE) of natural gas has ranged between $1.50 and $2.00 in the past several months [see Figure 2]. As the chart to the left indicates, natural gas prices are relatively stable since the discovery of an abundant […]

Myth #2: The return on investment for natural gas trucks is too long.
Fact: Natural gas costs roughly 30 percent less than diesel when comparing diesel equivalent gallons (volumes of fuel that store the same energy), but the LNG truck itself can cost 25 percent or more than its diesel counterpart, largely because of the onboard cryogenic fuel tanks. Calculated savings over a truck’s life will depend on the […]

Myth #1: There is not enough LNG infrastructure to support Class 8 trucking operations
Fact: In the last three years, natural gas providers have developed partnerships with truck stop operators and are aggressively building out LNG fueling locations along key Interstate corridors. Clean Energy partnered with Pilot Flying J and has completed 50 LNG fueling stations with plans to open another 22 by year-end 2012 as part of its […]
