Trillium Forms Joint-Venture to Build CNG Stations

Trillium CNG on Monday announced a joint venture to built fueling stations with a focus on the Interstate 65 and I-75 trucking corridors and major routes in Texas.

The company, AMP Trillium, is a joint-venture of Trillium and Integrys Energy Group and AMP Americas.

The stations will be open to the public, though the primary customers are targeted to be heavy-duty and long-haul trucking fleets. Ground will be broken for the first station by the fall, Trillium said.

AMP Americas currently owns two CNG fueling stations in Indiana. In partnership with Fair Oaks Farms, it manages a fleet of 42 CNG milk-transport trucks.

By the fall, these trucks will run entirely on renewable CNG made from manure from the dairy's cows in a process called anaerobic digestion, the company said.
