The CNG station will use compression technology, developed by OsComp Systems, to reduce the energy required to compress and transport natural gas.
Global CNG has established a multi-year agreement with Bangor Gas, to supply natural gas through its system in Bangor.
Global Partners has also established a partnership with OsComp to supply CNG to customers in New England through truck by utilising OsComp’s unique turnkey system, which contains specialised trailers and unloaders to create virtual natural gas pipeline system.

By GlobalDataGlobal Partners president and CEO Eric Slifka said that the station will provide customers with safe, convenient and cost-effective CNG, which will meet year-round energy needs.
"We bring the pipeline to the customer, creating a potential energy savings of up to 30% to 40%, or $1 or more per equivalent gallon of delivered fuel oil," Slifka added.
OsComp’s CNG virtual pipeline model integrates its Rapid Fill compression technology, which enables CNG trailers, to be filled more rapidly than conventional filling systems.
