Ambitious JV to build CNG stations across the US

Trillium CNG, a business unit of Integrys Energy Group, and AMP Americas have established a joint venture, AMP Trillium, focused on building a network of CNG stations across the US. Initially, AMP Trillium will construct stations along the I-65 and I-75 trucking corridors and major routes in Texas, with the first station breaking ground towards the end of this year. The stations will be open to the public, though the primary customers will likely be heavy-duty and long-haul trucking fleets.

RSSTrillium CNG, a business unit of 6281 Integrys Energy Group, and AMP Americas have established a joint venture, AMP Trillium, focused on building a network of CNG stations across the US.

Initially, AMP Trillium will construct stations along the I-65 and I-75 trucking corridors and major routes in Texas, with the first station breaking ground towards the end of this year. The stations will be open to the public, though the primary customers will likely be heavy-duty and long-haul trucking fleets.

The new stations will feature fast-fill capabilities and redundant equipment providing increased fill speed and reduced downtime. To further accentuate the project's sustainability benefits, whenever possible AMP Trillium plans to use renewable CNG, the chemical equivalent of fossil-based natural gas which is obtained from biomass, often food or animal waste, whenever possible.
