UGI opens Compressed Natural Gas fueling station in Bethlehem

UGI Utilities, Inc. opened Monday a Compressed Natural Gas (CNG) fueling station at its office in Bethlehem, which will serve UGI’s fleet of natural gas-powered vehicles.

The company’s CNG fleet currently includes 46 vehicles, and the company has ordered an additional 40 CNG vehicles expected to be delivered this year. UGI also operates a CNG fueling station at its Wilkes-Barre office.

“UGI is pleased to take this significant step forward in promoting clean energy with compressed natural gas,” Robert Stoyko, vice president of marketing and customer relations at UGI, said. “Using natural gas as a vehicle fuel improves the environment by lowering emissions, and we look forward to working with other area companies to explore the benefits of CNG for their fleets.”

Using CNG can reduce a vehicle’s emissions by as much as 90 percent. CNG vehicles can also provide other benefits such as reduced engine maintenance needs and reduced engine wear.

The New Jersey-based Air & Gas Technologies directed the construction of the new CNG fueling station.
