Linde North America, a global leader in the growing liquefied natural gasA naturally occurring mixture of hydrocarbon and non-hydrocarbon gases beneath the earth’s surface – often in association with petroleum. (LNGNatural gasA naturally occurring mixture of hydrocarbon and non-hydrocarbon gases beneath the earth’s surface – often in association with petroleum. converted to a liquid for transport or storage.) fueling market, has expanded its commitment to LNGNatural gasA naturally occurring mixture of hydrocarbon and non-hydrocarbon gases beneath the earth’s surface – often in association with petroleum. converted to a liquid for transport or storage. fuel with the successful deployment of 20 additional LNGNatural gasA naturally occurring mixture of hydrocarbon and non-hydrocarbon gases beneath the earth’s surface – often in association with petroleum. converted to a liquid for transport or storage. Class 8 trucks. These trucks are delivering cryogenic gases to Linde’s customers in North America.
The addition follows Linde’s deployment of three LNGNatural gasA naturally occurring mixture of hydrocarbon and non-hydrocarbon gases beneath the earth’s surface – often in association with petroleum. converted to a liquid for transport or storage. trucks last year to test the performance and economic viability of LNGNatural gasA naturally occurring mixture of hydrocarbon and non-hydrocarbon gases beneath the earth’s surface – often in association with petroleum. converted to a liquid for transport or storage. fuel. The success of the initial program set the stage for the current expansion.
“Our experience with our LNGNatural gasA naturally occurring mixture of hydrocarbon and non-hydrocarbon gases beneath the earth’s surface – often in association with petroleum. converted to a liquid for transport or storage. trucks has been very positive,” noted Fred Kinkin head of supply for Linde North America. “Natural gasA naturally occurring mixture of hydrocarbon and non-hydrocarbon gases beneath the earth’s surface – often in association with petroleum. burns more cleanly than diesel and is more economical, so we were able to save money on fuel while reducing our greenhouse gas emissions. Given the size of our fleet and our commitment to environmental sustainability, this reduction in emissions and costs is significant.”
Compared to conventional hydrocarbon fuels, LNGNatural gasA naturally occurring mixture of hydrocarbon and non-hydrocarbon gases beneath the earth’s surface – often in association with petroleum. converted to a liquid for transport or storage. is cleaner and more economical, and is produced domestically, lessening dependence on foreign sources while creating jobs in the U.S. Linde is applying its expertise and infrastructure to help develop the U.S. market. The company’s growing use of LNGNatural gasA naturally occurring mixture of hydrocarbon and non-hydrocarbon gases beneath the earth’s surface – often in association with petroleum. converted to a liquid for transport or storage. vehicles in its own fleet illustrates both the feasibility and advantages of switching to LNGNatural gasA naturally occurring mixture of hydrocarbon and non-hydrocarbon gases beneath the earth’s surface – often in association with petroleum. converted to a liquid for transport or storage. fuel.
“Expanding our LNGNatural gasA naturally occurring mixture of hydrocarbon and non-hydrocarbon gases beneath the earth’s surface – often in association with petroleum. converted to a liquid for transport or storage. fleet provides advantages to our customers,” Kinkin added. “LNGNatural gasA naturally occurring mixture of hydrocarbon and non-hydrocarbon gases beneath the earth’s surface – often in association with petroleum. converted to a liquid for transport or storage.-fueled tractors are lighter in weight, allowing Linde to increase payloads, improve service and better manage fuel costs. In addition, the LNGNatural gasA naturally occurring mixture of hydrocarbon and non-hydrocarbon gases beneath the earth’s surface – often in association with petroleum. converted to a liquid for transport or storage. tractors run more smoothly and quietly–an important benefit for our drivers who spend about 10 hours on the road each day.”
