[vc_row animation=””][vc_column width=”1/1″][vc_column_text]Last week’s #AskCabot question aligns perfectly with our theme for the week: compressed natural gas. The question read, “What is #CNG and why am I hearing so much about it right now.” Our answer, which is an answer that we’ve referred to both in Tuesday’s video and yesterday’s Drilling Down post, read, “#CNG is compressed natural gas and can be used as a replacement for gasoline, diesel or propane.”[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row animation=””][vc_column width=”1/1″][vc_column_text]Hopefully, you’ve read through the week’s blog posts and have learned about the benefits and uses of CNG. We don’t want to repeat the same information in this recap, but we do care to answer why you’re hearing so much about CNG right now. CNG and the use of CNG in vehicles is becoming more popular because people are starting to learn more about the benefits and because natural gas vehicles are quickly rising in the consumer market.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row animation=””][vc_column width=”1/1″][vc_column_text]Most people have heard of Honda’s new Civic that runs on natural gas.

In fact, the PA Route 6 Alliance is beginning plans to establish a series of CNG filling stations along PA Route 6 called “The PA Route 6 CNG Corridor.”[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row animation=””][vc_column width=”1/1″][vc_column_text]In an article from The Daily Review, Smethport Mayor Ross Porter, chair of the PA Route 6 CNG Corridor Leadership Team and board member of the Alliance, reveals that he thinks the Corridor “could be a model for the whole country and could be duplicated in other places.”[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row animation=””][vc_column width=”1/1″][vc_column_text]So yes, people are beginning to see that CNG is truly the fuel of the future, and we at Cabot Oil & Gas Corporation are happy to be in the heart of natural gas.
