Trillium CNG announced that it will build and operate a compressed natural gas (CNG) fueling station in Monterey, California, for fueling the trash trucks of  the Monterey Regional Waste Management District.

Construction will begin in April at the Monterey Regional Environmental Park, with completion of the fueling facilities expected by the end of July. A portion of the fuel will be from landfill gas that will be recovered, treated and compressed. In 2016 the district plans to recover methan gas from the nearby Monterey Peninsula Landfill and convert it to CNG.

The CNG station will serve the district’s 50 CNG-fueled trucks, as well as other city and county vehicles that use the fuel. The station is being designed so it can expand its capacity to serve up to 100 CNG vehicles per day.
