NG Advantage LLC announces that Steve Palmer of Shelburne, VT has been promoted to Director of Construction and Maintenance. In his new position Steve will be responsible for all construction and maintenance at the Company’s growing list of compressor stations and the Company’s equipment at customer sites in Vermont, New Hampshire, and Massachusetts.
In addition, Steve is responsible for managing relationships with customer engineering and operations teams as well as supervising his Maintenance Team.
Tom Evslin NG Advantage’s Chairman applauded the promotion saying “Steve has been an essential person in helping to manage NG Advantage’s extremely fast growth. In his new role Steve will use his experience and abilities to spread our CNG delivery service to additional sites and customers offering them the advantage of North American clean and economical compressed natural gas.”
NG Advantage LLC is the leading fuel provider trucking compressed natural gas (CNG) in the U.S. – bringing the economic and environmental benefits of North American natural gas to enterprise customers without access to a pipeline. The company is currently bringing its “rolling CNG pipeline” to paper mills, asphalt plants, and electrical insulation manufacturers in Vermont, New Hampshire and Massachusetts from its first compressor station in Milton, Vermont – located near the current customers. A second compressor station in New Hampshire will be operational in early 2014. The delivery area currently covers northern New England and upstate New York.
NG Advantage compresses natural gas from an existing pipeline into high tech containers loaded on trailers and delivers it, “real time,” via its “virtual pipeline” rolling on public highways directly to large industrial, commercial, and institutional users providing them with cheaper, cleaner fuel. NG Advantage saves customers 20-40% on energy bills annually, reduces their CO2 emissions by 26%, and virtually eliminates harmful pollutants like sulfur dioxide and nitrous oxides. Capital costs to the new customer are much lower than with other fuels because the company’s trailers serve as on-site storage for the CNG. Current customers use up to 6 trailer loads a day.
