The Border Valley Trading, Limited. Coachella Valley Regional Liquefied Natural Gas Infrastructure project is a liquefied natural gas/liquefied to compressed natural gas fueling station along a critical trucking route between Phoenix, Arizona and the California Ports of Long Beach and Los Angeles. The goal of the project was to find a cost effective and scalable liquefied natural gas equipment package solution that would offer public and commercial access to alternative fueling solutions along the Interstate 10 corridor. The station provides an important connection for clean fuel within the interstate clean transportation corridor. This project has and will lead to better air quality and a reduction in the transportation industry's dependence on the import and use of carbon intensive conventional fuels, as well as fuel cost savings. The station will provide 3.23 million gallons of liquefied natural gas per year, displacing 1.82 million gallons of diesel fuel annually, resulting in a reduction of nearly 150 tons of NOx emissions and nearly three tons of particulate matter. The station's public access at a critical link point along the Interstate 10 corridor will offer the opportunity for trucking fleets to convert their high carbon diesel trucks to lower carbon liquefied natural gas trucks. The station's cost effective new horizontal tank design will allow small to medium sized trucking operations to obtain the infrastructure previously economically unreachable, on-site and in-route for converting their trucking fleets to alternative fuel usage.
