Private Sector Fueling Compressed Natural Gas Vehicle Transition

Grand Junction Daily Sentinel Editorial

Fleet conversion commitments from the private sector are critical in establishing a national transition to compressed natural gas vehicles. Many natural gas producers in western Colorado are putting their money where their mouths are by converting their own fleets. An emerging compressed natural gas market in western Colorado may be the result.

Making meaningful changes in the way Americans use energy requires tremendous investments in infrastructure and generally must be accompanied by changes in consumer behavior and habits. New ideas and initiatives are typically subjected to this reality and, as a result, are often derailed, falling victim to the age old quandary of the chicken and the egg.

Construction begins on pipeline to send gas from Colorado to West Coast

Would give some Piceance Basin energy companies access to West Coast markets

Construction began Saturday in various locations along the path of the Ruby Pipeline, a conduit that would give some Piceance Basin energy companies access to West Coast markets.

The Federal Energy Regulatory Commission on Friday approved construction of the pipeline, which it licensed in April, said a spokesman for El Paso Corp., one of the owners of the pipeline.

“Blockbuster midstream investments like the Ruby Pipeline represent institutional investor confidence in western Colorado and the Rockies,” said David Ludlam, executive director of the West Slope Colorado Oil and Gas Association.
