A CNG station (Compressed Natural Gas station) is a facility where compressed natural gas (CNG) is stored, distributed, and dispensed to vehicles that run on CNG. CNG is natural gas that has been compressed to a high pressure (typically around 3,000–3,600 psi) to reduce its volume, making it suitable for use in vehicles as an alternative to gasoline or diesel.

CNG is considered a cleaner fuel compared to gasoline and diesel, producing lower levels of carbon dioxide (CO2), nitrogen oxides (NOx), and particulate matter.

CNG stations are often located in urban areas, near highways, or in industrial regions, providing accessible refueling points for vehicles running on compressed natural gas.

Purchase Print

This was Middletown’s (a suburb of Louisville, Kentucky) first gas station, built in the late 1920’s by I.W. Quesenberry. The gas station sold Aetna Oil Company gas, and other products, and includes a Deem gas pump. The gas station’s original life was pretty short. As the construction of U.S. 60 (Shelbyville Road) to the north in 1936, diverted away much of the traffic that would have used the station. In the intervening years, the station was used by a drying cleaning business, and a taxi cab service. In 1996 the building was donated to the city, and a federal grant was used to restore it back to its original purpose.
