A recent WNEP Power to Save Segment highlighted companies in northeastern Pennsylvania that are seeing direct benefits as a result of the Marcellus production in their back yard.

The segment talks to representatives from three companies who are all using natural gas in different ways. Pennsy Supply, a sand, concrete, aggregate and asphalt manufacturer, is powering their Susquehanna County plant off of natural gas, creating an energy savings in the long term. Pennsy was the first commercial user of natural gas in Susquehanna County.
Kane is Able is a family-owned logistics company that has made the decision to pilot a natural gas vehicle program for their trucks. Compressed natural gas (CNG) not only burns cleaner than diesel, but the supply in northeastern PA makes it a great place to pilot this technology.
Keith Dorman of UGI Utilities explained how a large power plant has been converted to run on natural gas to provide electricity to the region. The company made t he decision to switch from coal-fired to natural gas-fired due to the abundant natural gas coming from the Marcellus.
And George Stark, Cabot’s Director of External Affairs, makes is on hand to discuss some of the ways Marcellus Shale natural gas is benefiting homeowners, businesses and manufacturers.
We’ll have more on that in the future, but for now click below to see the full WNEP clip.
