SEAL BEACH, CA - A new liquefied natural gas (LNG) fueling station built, owned, and operated by Clean Energy Fuels Corp. has opened in Seville, Ohio to support the expanding fleet of LNG trucks deployed by major contract freight carrier Dillon Transport serving Owens Corning. Also available 24/7 for public access, the station is located at 8924 Lake Road, Seville OH on property owned by Pilot Flying J Truck Travel Centers.
James Harger, Chief Marketing Officer, Clean Energy, said, "The opening of this new Clean Energy LNG truck fueling station, the first in the industrial heartland of America, is a major step toward realizing our program to create a national LNG fueling infrastructure that will extend along major truck routes nationwide. Our efforts to create America's Natural Gas Highway are in direct response to the increasing demand for natural gas fuel as major trucking companies secure and deploy LNG-powered trucks. We commend Dillon Transport, Owens Corning and Clean Fuels Ohio for their leadership role in this rapidly growing movement."
Dillon Transport's temperature-sensitive tanker truck fleets operate throughout the U.S. and Canada, with contract services concentrated east of the Rocky Mountains. The new Ohio station will support Dillon-operated trucks that deliver raw materials to Owens Corning industrial production plants. Owens Corning is a leading global producer of residential and commercial building materials.
"Dillon Transport is proud to be a part of the partnership between Owens Corning and Clean Energy that has created the LNG station in Seville, OH. This station is on the leading edge of the natural gas highway that Clean Energy is developing across the United States over the next two years. We believe natural gas will be a mainstream alternative to diesel for class 8 truck fuel, because natural gas is a cleaner, less expensive, domestic and abundant solution to the energy crisis we face every day as Americans. Our goal is to continue to field natural gas vehicles in support of our strategic partners' initiatives of environmental stewardship and cost reduction," said Jeff Dillon, President of Dillon Transport.
"Sustainability is a core strategy at Owens Corning. It is at the heart of the company's purpose," said Mike Cramer, Director, Logistics and Customer Operations for Owens Corning. "When that commitment extends to our suppliers, it speaks volumes about what companies with similar commitments can achieve in the interests of their customers and other global stakeholders."
A grant to help fund the development of the Clean Energy LNG station was awarded to Clean Fuels Ohio by the U.S. Department of Energy, as part of the federal American Recovery and Reinvestment Act stimulus program.
"Clean Fuels Ohio was happy to work with Clean Energy in opening Ohio's first liquefied natural gas station," Clean Fuels Ohio Executive Director Sam Spofforth said. "We hope to see more fleets join Dillon Transport to use this less expensive and environmentally friendly substitute for diesel fuel."
Currently priced up to $1.50 or more per gallon lower than diesel or gasoline (depending upon local markets), the use of natural gas fuel reduces costs significantly for vehicle and fleet owners, and lowers greenhouse gas emissions up 23% in medium to heavy-duty vehicles. Additionally, natural gas is a secure North American energy source with 98% of the natural gas consumed produced in the U.S. and Canada.
Owens Corning (NYSE: OC) is a leading global producer of residential and commercial building materials, glass-fiber reinforcements and engineered materials for composite systems.
