For those of us who live in the gas field development areas, the use of LNG with both drilling and fracturing engines will be a significant improvement to our air quality. REV LNG is a distribution company that owns tanker trucks intended to transport and distribute the liquefied gas to 18-wheel trucking fleets and natural gas drilling rigs. “Transporting the LNG would only require five trucks per day at max capacity,” he said. “So, over a 24-hour period, we’re only talking about one truck every five hours or so.” Kailbourne gave the Rocket- Courier some insight into the uses and benefits of LNG, saying the 50,000 gallons of such produced daily at the facility would be equivalent to 29,500 gallons of diesel energy. He said LNG is, on average, 30 percent more economical and much quieter than diesel as well. Kailbourne noted LNG is also the fastest growing alternative to diesel. “Natural gas, when compressed to its liquid form, is nontoxic, nonflammable and noncorrosive,” he said. “Air emissions from LNG trucks compared to diesel trucks can be anywhere from 27 to 97 percent more environmentally friendly…” rocket-courier/news/2014-10-30/Front_Page/LNG_Facility_Possibly_Coming_to_Herrick_Twp.html
