TruStar Energy opens CNG fuel station in Orlando FL

Aug. 3, 2015

TruStar Energy, one of the nation’s leading developers of compressed natural gas (CNG) fueling stations, has opened its first TruStar Energy-branded public CNG fueling station in Orlando FL.

TruStar Energy, one of the nation’s leading developers of compressed natural gas (CNG) fueling stations, has opened its first TruStar Energy-branded public CNG fueling station in Orlando FL. Located in a heavy truck traffic corridor, the 24/7 CNG fast-fill station is capable of fueling several hundred vehicles a day and promises to deliver lower fueling cost and reduced transportation-related emissions to the Orlando area. “We continue to see a shift taking place in North America where more commercial vehicles are running on CNG—it’s cheaper, cleaner, quieter-running, and domestically abundant and produced,” said Adam Comora, TruStar Energy president. “As a result, the company has embarked on a strategic path to open dozens of TruStar Energy public CNG stations over the next several years—Orlando is our first. Rest assured though, we will continue to provide the same outstanding design, construction, maintenance, and training services for private, public, and government customers.” “We identified Orlando as one of the best markets to build our first station, because it has a high volume of CNG vehicles and the potential to add many more,” said Scott Edelbach, general manager of TruStar Energy. “Our state-of-the-art CNG station is perfectly located close to several major fleets as well as a heavy traffic corridor, making it a valuable, profitable, and productive resource for businesses in the area.”

The new TruStar Energy CNG station at 8520 Exchange Drive in the Orlando Central Park development has four traffic lanes and two fueling islands. This provides easy access for commercial vehicles and private CNG-powered consumer vehicles. Designed for expansion, the station can accept two more dispensers adding four traffic lanes. It is supplied by TECO Peoples Gas and accepts commercial fuel cards such as Comdata or Fuelman as well as all major credit cards. “TruStar Energy’s team of experts were valuable partners in the construction of our Tampa and Fort Meyers CNG fueling stations. Those stations were built on time, on budget, and there were no surprises,” said Jose Rivera, vice-president at J J Taylor, a Florida-based beer distributor. “The company’s investment in growing Florida’s CNG fueling infrastructure will provide fleets—like ours—the ability to extend our routes outside of our private station network. They should be applauded for undertaking this initiative.” Fleets that run on CNG have lower exhaust and carbon emissions compared with diesel and gasoline. The average refuse truck uses 10,000 gallons of fuel each year, or the carbon equivalent of burning 272 barrels of oil. By switching to natural gas, the carbon equivalent is cut to two barrels. Plus, natural gas engines have an average of 80% to 90% lower decibel level than diesel engines, and CNG is up to 50% less expensive than gasoline or diesel. CNG is also insulated from price volatility due to international conflicts and events. To learn more, access www.trustarenergy.com.
