Piedmont and Spinx open natural gas refueling station

Piedmont Natural Gas and The Spinx Company opened Anderson’s first public compressed natural gas (CNG) refueling station at 1207 SC Highway 28 Bypass.

The station is Piedmont’s third public refueling facility in South Carolina and its first station located at an existing convenience store.

“Piedmont Natural Gas is excited about partnering with Spinx to serve the growing number of companies and fleet vehicles using CNG,” Karl Newlin, senior vice president and CFO for Piedmont, said in a release. “More businesses are choosing natural gas because it is an economical and environmentally responsible alternative to gasoline and other transportation fuels.”

Vehicles fueled by CNG release lower levels of carbon dioxide than gasoline or diesel vehicles, and require less maintenance.

Piedmont is working with corporate fleet owners and municipalities to install dedicated CNG refueling facilities at their locations. In addition, Piedmont has converted approximately one-third of its own corporate fleet to vehicles that run on CNG.
