Natural gas is a fossil fuel that is primarily methane, and its production is achieved through extraction from drilled wells, excavated coal mines or as a byproduct of the crude oil refinement process. In its purified state, natural gas is the cleanest burning of all the fossil fuels, and at a price that is consistently lower than many inferior energy sources (those with higher levels of harmful emissions), natural gas is the obvious energy choice for many industries, institutions, and individuals alike.
Distribution and dispensing of natural gas is generally achieved through the use of a vast infrastructure of underground pipelines that supply large regions of the country, but many areas in the United States remain excluded from this system, and consumers in these areas are supplied by over-the-road transport vehicles that contain highly compressed natural gas (CNG). These industrial and individual consumers are known as off-pipeline CNG end users.
NEOgas is a Texas based corporation that was established in 2001, and it has a significant interest and business concentration in the CNG industry. Since its inception, NEOgas has developed certain patent protected technologies and proprietary systems, machineries, and techniques related to the compression, distribution, delivery, and dispensing of CNG to off-pipeline end users. As a result, the company is poised to become a leader in the industry and offers:
In its original form, natural gas is an expansive fuel that requires equally voluminous stationary storage vessels that are impractical for over-the-road transport applications. In order to deliver and dispense natural gas to off-pipeline end users, the fuel must first be converted to the CNG form. Extremely high pressures are required to compress natural gas, and this compression process has always presented a number of technological challenges to the industry.
Natural gas compression is a complex endeavor that must be accomplished under precise conditions and to exacting standards. The costs associated with compression are significant, and the final selling price of CNG has always reflected those expenditures. Recent developments by NEOgas have allowed for new economies to be realized during the compression process through the use of proprietary and patent protected innovations that will increase the efficiency, and thus lower the costs, of natural gas compression, transportation, and dispensing to off-pipeline end users.
The need for CNG will continue to grow as industries and individuals alike come to the realization that America has a bountiful source of extremely clean energy that may be utilized as a less expensive alternative to the importation of foreign crude. NEOgas wants America to know that our company will continue to pursue excellence in innovation when it comes to finding more cost-efficient ways to produce, compress, distribute, and dispense CNG to those who will settle for nothing less than the best fuel your American dollar can buy.
