Fairbanks Natural Gas: Powering the Community with LNG

Fairbanks Natural Gas (FNG) knows what it takes to move natural gas. The company, an Alaska-based utility, provides natural gas to over 1,000 residential and business customers in Fairbanks Alaska. In order to offer natural gas to its patrons, FNG’s sister company, Titan Alaska LNG, transports liquefied natural gas (LNG) by way of truck and trailer after condensing and storing it at its plant in Big Lake Alaska.

Part of Titan’s fleet includes Kenworth T800 trucks powered with Westport’s 15 L HPDI engine. Titan owns these units, however leases them to a third-party transport provider.

“We produce LNG and we want to promote the use of LNG in transportation,” says Dan Britton, FNG President and CEO. “An important piece for us in making the decision was the availability of a natural-gas powered original equipment manufacturer vehicle, as opposed to an after-market conversion.”

Fairbanks Natural Gas and its sister company, Titan Alaska LNG, use natural gas-powered Kenworth T800 trucks to transport LNG from Big Lake to Fairbanks, Alaska.
