MORGANTOWN, W.Va. (AP) — IGS Energy says it will build and operate
a $10 million network of compressed natural gas fueling stations
for vehicles along Interstate 79 from Charleston, W.Va., to Mount
Morris in Greene County.
The plan the Ohio-based company announced Thursday calls for
stations in Bridgeport, Charleston and Jane Lew, along with the
one in southwest Pennsylvania.
President Scott White says it will serve the growing number of
businesses and residents converting to natural gas vehicles.
The company says the so-called CNG Fueling Corridor is the first
of its kind since Marcellus shell drilling began to take off.
Surging production has the gas industry seeking out new markets
for its products. Companies are starting to focus more on the
transportation sector.
They tout natural gas as a cheaper, cleaner alternative to
gasoline and diesel.
