TruStar Energy, a developer of CNG fueling infrastructure, is opening a truck-friendly public fast-fill fueling station in Houston for Freedom CNG.

The station, in northwest Harris County, will allow both commercial and public CNG-powered vehicles to fuel via three separate fuel islands, protected from the elements by a large, well-lit canopy that will easily accommodate tractor trailers.

The station, designed around two large 250-horsepower compressors, is capable of delivering approximately 1,500 gasoline gallon equivalent (GGE) of fuel per hour via three dispensers that will facilitate both commercial and consumer vehicles.

Winters said that Freedom CNG’s business plan anticipates adding an additional 10 fueling locations within the greater Houston area.

TruStar Energy began building private “behind the fence” fueling stations in 2008, but has expanded its product offerings to include public/private station builds along with TruStar Energy-owned stations.

TruStar Energy has the capability of building 40 CNG stations per year and expects to double that capacity over the next few years.
