Utahns and motorists who drive vehicles powered by clean-burning natural gas will have something to celebrate Friday – a new natural gas vehicle (NGV) fueling station in Salt Lake City, Utah – thanks to Semi Service Inc, a federal grant, Clean Cities partners and the state of Utah.

We are very excited about the rapid growth that the natural gas vehicle community will be seeing this year,” said Carrie Giles, Northern Director of Utah Clean Cities. “Last year we applied for and received one of the U.S. Department of Energy’s Clean Cities Recovery Act Awards. This $14.9 million award is helping to create 16 new NGV public-fueling stations, upgrade 24 others and build three stations that dispense liquefied natural gas. On Friday, Salt Lake City Mayor Peter Corroon, Carl Galbraith from Questar Gas Company, and Dr. Dianne Neilson, Energy Advisor to Governor Herbert, will be speaking to help increase awareness of the importance of alternative fuels in Utah. ”

“Salt Lake City has been asking for a new station for quite some time,” said Giles. “This location is ideally located in the west side of town where CNG use in industry has been expanding.”

Fueling with natural gas is similar to fueling with gasoline. There are a few differences since the fuel is a gas and not a liquid, but the vehicles still get the same miles per gallon. The most noticeable differ­ence, however, is the fuel price. A gallon equivalent of natural gas costs only 93 cents.

Lt. Gov. Greg Bell said, “Using CNG fuel in place of gasoline does three things: It promotes the use of a Utah fuel in place of a foreign fuel, it saves Utahns money because it is less expensive and it helps make our air cleaner.”

Today, there are 27 public-access NGV fueling stations in Utah: Questar operates 20 stations, the state oper­ates six, and now Semi Service operates one.

Examples of natural gas vehicles and their use in Utah will be on display. The public will be able to learn how to fuel a CNG car, using the original 1989 Batmobile which has been converted to run on CNG.
