Mountain Fuel Supply Co. began using natural gas as a vehicle fuel in 1983, when it converted 22 of its fleet vehicles and built its first natural gas fueling station. At the time, its primary motivation was economics. Now, however, with increased concern about Utah`s air quality, environmental protection is another important factor. Since 1983, the utility`s NGV program has accelerated to become one of the nation`s most successful. Mountain Fuels` NGV marketing department consistently set up aggressive campaigns to promote the alternative fuel and worked closely with private and government organizations within its service area to promote clean natural gas. Today, Mountain Fuel has helped establish a refueling infrastructure of more than 80 NGV refueling facilities supporting nearly 2,000 NGVs in the company`s service area. The paper discusses the development and implementation of the NGV program.
