FROM WELL-TO-WHEEL
The cleanest burning fossil fuel – Natural Gas – is an essential part of our
daily lives. It's used to generate electricity, heat homes and even fuel one in
five transit buses in America. With benefits like these, it’s no surprise more
and more fleets are discovering the advantages of going green – What may
surprise you are all the behind-the-scenes activities that go into transporting
it from its origin and transforming it into the natural gas that is used in your
homes and in commercial transportation.
THE ROAD TO ALTERNATIVE FUEL AND
ADVANCED TECHNOLOGY VEHICLES*
It’s abundant! 100 years
of supply in the U.S.
It’s the same fuel used to heat
homes and cook meals!
DISCOVERY
EXPLORING ADVANCED
TECHNOLOGY
The world’s first natural
gas well was dug in
Fredonia, New York, in 1825
$2.50
Lower
fuel costs
25% reduction in
per day produced
carbon footprint
REFINING &
PROCESSING
EXTRACTION
Just like oil, natural gas
is extracted from deep under
the ground or ocean floor
using wells
Natural gas processing begins
at the wellhead
Provides stability in forecasting fuel costs
for CNG and LNG vehicle conversion
5 billion cubic feet
Once it's extracted from the
reservoirs, it's transported
to processing refineries and
cleaned by separating impurities
1,514 CNG stations and
102 LNG stations
Strict safety
standards make
these vehicles as
safe as gasoline
and diesel
powered vehicles
