Analysis and Recommendations:
Natural Gas gained 2 points but remained fairly flat as weather forecast were for mild temperatures and traders waited until Thursday’s EIA inventory report.
Waste Management, Inc. will start replacing its Rockdale district fleet of diesel engine garbage trucks with compressed natural gas trucks. “The natural gas engines are much quieter and better for the environment,” said District Manager Lisa Lorenz. “It will increase efficiency and allow us to go into communities with noise restrictions.”
Lorenz said several municipalities regulate the times garbage trucks can pick up trash because they make too much noise. The natural gas trucks will allow Waste Management to alter routes and send trucks at hours that make operations more efficient.
Waste Management has taken the first step toward the conversion by laying the groundwork for a natural gas fueling station outside the Rockdale facility. Right now, it’s just a ditch. But by December, the site will be able to fuel 50 trucks.
