Shell opens two more LNG truck fueling stations in US

Shell announced March 30 the opening of new LNG lanes at TravelCenters of America LLC truck fueling stations in Baytown, Texas and in Lafayette, Louisiana

The two stations follow Ontario, California, which was the first site to open LNG lanes under the Shell-TA agreement last year. 

LNG fuel is an alternative to traditional diesel for heavy-duty truck fleet owners, as it can be cost-competitive for trucks that cover long distances, Shell said. It is also cleaner than diesel in terms of sulphur, particulates and nitrogen oxides, and can help reduce well-to-wheel greenhouse gas emissions, it added.  

“It is great to see LNG fuel now being offered at these two stations,” said Elen Phillips, vice president Fuels Sales and Marketing, North America, for Shell. “LNG can be a good choice for truck owners and more are making the switch to LNG. With each new site, we are pleased to be driving the development of safe and cost-efficient LNG fueling technology.”
