ABC 5 news clip highlighting NatGas Services and Black Hills Energys installation of the first Natural Gas Station in Iowa. With gasoline prices skyrocketing the switch to natural gas can save consumers big money at the pump and also offer benefits towards a cleaner environment. The CNG compressor technologies available from NatGas Services through Galileo Technologies are state-of-art systems built solely for automobiles and not based on older residential and commercial compressed natural gas lines, compressors and distribution.
Iowa’s first public compressed natural gas vehicle fueling station will soon put Iowa on the map of the nation’s expanding CNG infrastructure network. NatGas Services, a company based in Ankeny, Iowa, will open the station by the end of May in Grimes at Krueger’s BP Amoco on Highway 141. NatGas Services is providing and managing the fast-fill equipment, and has announced that the price at the pump will be $1.99 per gasoline gallon equivalent. Black Hills Energy will supply natural gas service to the fueling station.
As any regular visitor to TheAutoChannel.com may know, Bob Gordon and I have been big supporters of compressed natural gas and have vigorously advocated a resumption of building and selling CNG-powered vehicles in America as a major step in the fight to end our dependence on foreign oil and gasoline. You may also know, from reading my articles on the subject that I’ve put my own money where my mouth is and purchased a used Dodge Ram 1500 V-8 full size van powered by CNG. It is one of two vehicles that I personally own and drive regularly (the other is a non-flex fuel Ford Taurus that I fill with E85 to prove that all modern vehicles can run safely and efficiently on ethanol).
Chrysler’s Ram division claims to have built the first factory-direct pickup to run on gasoline and compressed natural gas, an alternative fuel that Fred Diaz, Ram’s president and chief executive,described as “a near-term, viable option for lessening this country’s dependence on crude oil.”
