GE, Chesapeake To Facilitate Natural Gas Vehicle Fueling

According to theWheeling Intelligencer, General Electric and Chesapeake are partnering to provide compressed natural gas fueling systems in West Virginia:

"CNG in a Box is a 'plug and play' solution available to businesses and fueling station retailers. Once purchased, the unit provides the technology needed to install a CNG fueling station in any location with access to a natural gas pipeline," said Kent Wilkinson, vice president of Natural Gas Ventures, a new company now acquiring natural gas assets.

"In West Virginia specifically, we hope retailers show interest given the state's abundant supply of natural gas," Wilkinson added when asked whether any of the boxes would be placed in the Ohio Valley.

State tax credits are available for refueling stations and for some cars that are CNG compatible. However, I believe the tax credits are not available to those who want to add a CNG option to a standard gasoline-powered car.  You have to convert completely to CNG, or buy a car that is already set up as a dual fuel vehicle, to get the credit.
