Where Can Fleets Find Natural Gas Refueling Stations for Heavy-Duty Trucks?
The Transport Project reports close to 1,400 natural gas stations are set to serve the clean transport Industry in 2026. How many of those are publicly accessible to heavy-duty trucks?

The Transport Project reports it’s seeing a positive trend in the availability of compressed natural gas fueling stations nationwide, with close to 1,400 natural gas stations set to serve the clean transport Industry in 2026.
The Transport Project's recently released its Q4 2025 NGV Refueling Infrastructure Report revealed that as we set to begin 2026, the number of existing stations in the United States has risen to 1,385 stations dispensing CNG and 81 stations dispensing liquified natural gas (LNG).
The Transport Project is a national organization dedicated to advancing the growth and deployment of practical, clean, gaseous fuels for transportation, including natural gas, RNG, and hydrogen.

Key highlights from the report include:
A 2% increase in CNG stations coming online year-over-year.
53% of CNG stations are publicly accessible.
46% offer heavy-duty Class 8 truck access.
Where Are The CNG Stations?
Operational CNG stations exist in 47 states plus the District of Columbia, according to the report. The top states with CNG stations are:
California (318)
Oklahoma (99)
Texas (95)
Pennsylvania (72)
Florida (59)
Georgia (49)
Wisconsin (44)
New York (44)
Ohio (43)
Utah (40)
A list of public CNG and LNG stations in the U.S. and Canada is accessible on The Transport Project website. Filters allow you to highlight vehicle accessibility and RNG dispensing capabilities.

Renewable Natural Gas Availability
51% of CNG stations nationwide directly dispense renewable natural gas (RNG), according to the report.
The most recent reportable data from the California LCFS program lists the bio-CNG mix dispensed in that state at -218.89 gCO2e/MJ, allowing natural gas fleets fueling in the Golden State to achieve a carbon-negative transportation outcome.
Last year, 86% of all natural gas motor fuel dispensed for transportation use in the United States was RNG, according to Drive Fleets Forward with Renewable Natural Gas from The Transport Project and RNG Coalition.
CARB says the California Clean Fuel Reward program will begin offering point-of-sale rebates of up to $120,000 for electric commercial trucks starting June 26.
Along with unveiling its EPA 2027-compliant MP13 engine, Mack outlined powertrain changes across its Class 6-8 lineup, including new Cummins-based X10 engines.
Volvo says advances in combustion and aftertreatment helped its new EPA 2027 D13 engine avoid the fuel-economy penalties many once expected from tighter NOx emissions limits.
Tesla’s Semi chief at ACT Expo outlined production growth, lower-cost models, charging expansion, and why the company believes fleets are leaving money on the table by waiting on electric trucks.
A new report from the Electrification Coalition outlines key barriers slowing electric truck charging deployment and offers policy solutions to accelerate infrastructure growth.
Westport and Volvo are demonstrating a 500-hp truck with diesel-like efficiency — one that also offers what Westport says is a better pathway to using hydrogen fuel in trucks.
Relying on diesel alone exposes fleets to fuel price volatility. Here’s why diversification with electric, natural gas, and renewable fuels can reduce risk.
Range Energy said its production-ready eTrailer system proved it can boost stability, safety, and efficiency in sub-zero winter conditions as the company moves toward scaled deployment.
