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). 

Fewer than half, however, offer heavy-duty Class 8 truck fueling, and even fewer of those are publicly available stations.

According to an interactive map on The Transport Project's website, there currently are 623 public CNG stations with access for heavy-duty Class 7/8 CNG vehicles. Just over 400 of those offer renewable natural gas.

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.
