Frequently Asked Questions
What is the "virtual pipeline"?
The "virtual pipeline" is a clean energy infrastructure that connects industrial facilities, institutions, and municipalities to the natural gas pipeline through a network of pipeline terminals, trucks, and on-site decompression stations.
How does XNG's "virtual pipeline" work?
1. Connect to Pipeline
We connect directly to interstate pipelines, ensuring uninterrupted access at the lowest cost to our customers.
2. Transportation
We compress and dispense natural gas into lightweight, high-capacity trailers for transportation, delivery, and storage – eliminating the time and cost of on-site filling.
3. Connect to Customer
XNG tracks your supply levels and dispatches a full trailer before you need it. We deliver and depressurize the CNG to custom manifold skids at your location, built at our state-of-the-art facility.
