Marking a key milestone in their continuing efforts to build Western Canada’s first commercial-grade public CNG fueling network, Tourmaline and Clean Energy have opened two new CNG fueling stations. The new locations, in Calgary and Grande Prairie, along with the Edmonton station which opened in April 2023, establish a crucial transportation corridor for trucking companies converting their fleets from diesel to CNG.

Through their 50-50 shared investment that was announced in April 2023, Tourmaline and Clean Energy expect to construct up to 20 CNG stations in Western Canada, allowing heavy-duty trucks and other commercial transportation fleets to transition to the use of CNG, a lower-carbon alternative to gasoline and diesel. In just over a year, their customer base has grown to nine market-leading companies that have already collectively displaced two million litres of diesel by utilizing CNG technology.

“We are expanding our multi-year diesel displacement initiative by making CNG more readily available to heavy-duty trucking companies,” said Michael Rose, Chairman, President and CEO, Tourmaline. “Right here in Alberta, we have the technology, an abundance of natural gas, and now the infrastructure to help facilitate a transformative shift in the transportation sector.”
