USA, Ohio
Pinnacle CNG Systems has been selected by FirmGreen Energy, Inc. (FGE) for the construction and operation of a new 24-hour public access compressed natural gas (CNG) fueling station in Grove City, Ohio. The station is a part of FGE’s $US100 million Green Energy Centre in development adjacent the Franklin County Sanitary Landfill that is operated by the Solid Waste Authority of Central Ohio (SWACO). The CNG is sourced from renewable natural gas derived from processed landfill biogas.
The fueling station includes two 40 horsepower hydraulic intensifier compressors and one fast-fill dispenser for refuse haulers, buses, private fleets and other customers. FGE, SWACO and the Department of Energy have teamed together to build the CNG fueling facility in support of the nation’s effort to improve air quality in Central Ohio, reduce the dependency upon foreign oil and reduce fuel costs for the citizens of Ohio. The station is scheduled to open in September, 2007.
The Green Energy Centre CNG Refueling Station will accept Visa and MasterCard. Similar to its other facilities, this newest Pinnacle station will use the company’s patented Hydraulic Intensifier Compressor (HIC) system and deliver CNG fuel at a rate exceeding normal gasoline fueling rates. This means that the SWACO and public CNG users will not have to experience the frustrations of slower fueling rates, a characteristic of some conventional cascade systems. Pinnacle CNG has the equivalent of over 30 years of successful combined running time for its HIC technology.
