Natural gas refueling infrastructure for transportation applications.

Author(s) : BARCLAY J. A., BROOK T. C., BARCLAY M. A.

Summary

Development of widespread refueling infrastructures using local refueling systems with small, efficient on-site liquefiers is essential for widespread use of natural gas as a vehicular fuel. The price of liquid natural gas (LNG) or compressed natural gas (CNG) to fleet owners/operators or individuals depends on the capital and operating costs of the refueling stations. The core element of these refueling stations is an inexpensive and efficient small-scale liquefier capable of producing near 6500 liters of LNG/day. The paper compares several liquefaction methods and discusses the best choices of liquefier technology for fleet-size LNG/CNG refueling systems.
