ENERGY THAT MAKES A DIFFERENCE

Atlantic Petroleum offers Natural Gas distribution services, as demand for clean natural gas applications increases throughout the energy sector.

Our natural gas customers depend on natural gas to reduce expenses, improve quality of life and help local economies thrive. From powering gas stoves in local restaurants to supplying power for local manufacturers, airports, natural gas is relied on every day by industries across the country. Thanks to its reliability and affordability, natural gas is critical to an achievable energy future.

Did you know that natural gas has led to the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions in the United States? In fact, continued improvements in gas efficiency have reduced residential emissions per customer by 50% since 1970.

Natural gas lightens the load on the electric grid while also operating in partnership with renewable energy sources like wind and solar to deliver a dependable supply of power to businesses. Natural gas has demonstrated its reliability even in the most challenging weather conditions.
Serving as a critical back-up, natural gas can help fill any gaps left by renewable sources, as their peak production does not always coincide with energy demands.

Natural gas helps you have a steady supply of power 24 hours a day.

Renewable Natural Gas (RNG) 

Renewable natural gas (RNG), or biomethane, is a pipeline-quality gas that is fully interchangeable with conventional natural gas and thus can be used in natural gas vehicles. RNG is essentially biogas that has been processed to purity standards. Like conventional natural gas, RNG can be used as a transportation fuel in the form of compressed natural gas (CNG) or liquefied natural gas (LNG). RNG qualifies as an advanced biofuel under the Renewable Fuel Standard.

Biogas is produced from various biomass sources through a biochemical process, such as anaerobic digestion, or through thermochemical means, such as gasification. With minor cleanup, biogas can be used to generate electricity and heat. To fuel vehicles, biogas must be processed to a higher purity standard. This process is called conditioning or upgrading, and involves the removal of water, carbon dioxide, hydrogen sulfide, and other trace elements.
