Abstract
"This is an exciting day for ATCO Gas Australia as this new facility demonstrates how gas-powered innovations, such as gas-powered air conditioning, can provide greener energy solutions," said Alan Dixon, President, ATCO Gas Australia. "By switching to natural gas, businesses can benefit from lower running costs, improved environmental ratings for buildings and a diversified portfolio of energy solutions which provides energy security."
The facility's state-of-the-art natural gas-powered air conditioning units will help to minimise operating costs and environmental footprint. The facility also features natural gas-fired back-up power generation that provides security of continuous operations without the need to store fuel on site. A compressed natural gas (CNG) refueling station has also been installed to service ATCO's CNG fleet vehicles, which will result in lower fuel costs and reduced emissions. The CNG refueling station also has the capacity to fuel CNG vehicles owned by other organisations.
