TravelCenters Americas, Shell open second LNG station in California
Shell has opened new liquefied natural gas (LNG) fueling lanes at another TravelCenters of America (TA) station – the second station in California of both companies.
The new station, located in Santa Nella, California, is part of a partnership between Shell and TA which started in 2012 and focuses on the creation on LNG fuelling stations, reported Trucking Info.
This is the second project they have carried out in California, and it follows the opening of LNG fuelling sites in Texas and Louisiana earlier this year.
“I am excited by the progress we have made in developing the LNG fueling network in the U.S.,” said Elen Phillips, Shell‘s vice president fuel sales and marketing for North America. “LNG is a viable fuel option for truck owners and more are making the switch to LNG.”
As the demand for LNG grows in the United States, Shell and TA plan to open more stations in various states.
“Shell is committed to developing LNG as a fuel option for marine and road transport, and we continue to look at supply opportunities in the region in balance with demand,” said Christian Buelow, Shell’s general manager of downstream LNG for the Americas.
