The CNG station will fuel Encana’s fleet of natural gas-powered vehicles, which now has 39 trucks converted to run on natural gas in the firms’s Clearwater Business Unit in the Strathmore area.
Encana Natural Gas is also planning to offer the Strathmore station’s fueling services to other corporate fleets in the area and to the public in 2012.
Encana’s president and CEO Randy Eresman said that natural gas as a transportation fuel has huge potential to improve the bottom line of its users.
"Our vast North American supply of natural gas truly represents a domestic energy solution and a way to further strengthen the economies of both Canada and the US," Eresman said.
