CenterPoint's Portable Utility Set To Capitalize On Pipeline Integrity

摘要

Some twelve years ago, when there still may have actually been a gas "bubble," several executives at Houston's natural gas utility Center Point Energy, formerly known as Entex, gathered one day because they were convinced their fuel could be used to power automobiles, trucks, buses and the like in the form of compressed natural gas (CNG). After all, who wouldn't want to operate their vehicle with an environmentally friendly fuel that seemed to be in oversupply and cheaper than gasoline? Little did they know at that time that several years later this decision would lead them into a utility business supplying portable natural gas to pipeline companies and other industrial and commercial clients.
