Affordable NGV Home Fueling System Goal of Collaboration
The Gas Technology Institute (GTI) said Tuesday it will work with University of Texas at Austin’s (UT) Center for Electromechanics to help remove technical barriers on commercially viable home fueling equipment for natural gas vehicles (NGVs).
LaFleur: Resolving Gas, Power Coordination ‘More Urgent’ in Northeast
The different structures of the natural gas and power markets, disparate scheduling cycles and interstate natural gas pipeline constraints are the chief barriers to the efficient coordination of the two markets in the Northeast, regulators and industry officials said Monday.
Pennsylvania NGV Market Faces Fueling, Vehicle Cost Barriers
Even with the Marcellus Shale fueling new growth across the region, Pennsylvania still faces barriers to building natural gas vehicle (NGV) infrastructure, in part because of public fueling needs and high vehicle costs, according to a recent report by the Allegheny Conference on Community Development, a nonprofit organization focused on economic development in the state.
‘Tectonic Shift’ Under Way in Midstream Sector
The drillbit is moving from unconventional dry natural gas activity to wetter gas and crude, but the infrastructure has yet to catch up, increasing barriers to entry for some and giving existing operators a “natural edge,” an analyst with Tudor, Pickering, Holt & Co. Inc. (TPH) said in new research on the midstream sector.

Transmission Availability, Shaky Policy Environment Seen as Wind Power Barriers
The lack of adequate transmission infrastructure and a policy environment that has a stop-and-start quality to it, including the federal wind power production tax credit (PTC) that was recently extended through December 2005, are key hurdles to the further development of wind power in the U.S., participants at a FERC-sponsored technical conference said last week.
British Columbia Turns Over New Leaf on Pipeline Regulation
British Columbia, formerly notorious for erecting rigid regulatory barriers inspired by environmental critics, is now vowing to keep its promise to make its gas-rich northeastern corner more accessible. The BC Oil and Gas Commission is inaugurating a new era of “performance-based” regulation this fall, initially with liberalized procedures for pipeline projects.
