Trillium acquires CNG stations from U.S. Energy

April 25, 2025. Trillium Energy Solutions, a member of the Love’s Family of Companies, has completed the acquisition of U.S. Energy’s compressed natural gas (CNG) dispensing network. A mix of public and private stations, the network includes 41 stations across 15 states in the U.S., and three stations in Canada.

“This network expansion reinforces Trillium’s and Love’s commitment to providing every fuel type our customers need,” said Ryan Erickson, Vice President of Trillium. “We have recently seen an increased interest in CNG as a clean alternative fuel from both our private sector fleet and trucking customers. Adding these stations grows our network quite significantly, which unlocks more value and access for customers. Utilizing the expanded network, our collective CNG customers will have significantly more fueling options to continue or expand their CNG fleet operations.”

Trillium’s 24/7 service team will operate, maintain and monitor these stations. Trillium also has plans for a new compressed natural gas (CNG) build in Fresno, California, slated to be completed this year.

Recognized as a key player in the renewable natural gas (RNG) space, U.S. Energy will continue to support growth of the alternative fuel market through its robust RNG portfolio. With over 45 RNG development projects and offtake agreements, U.S. Energy will continue to supply clean fuel into the transportation market—through nearly 1,400 operational RNG stations and its Volt Vault™ natural-gas based electric vehicle charging solution. Additionally, U.S. Energy is supplying RNG into the voluntary market as a thermal energy source and feedstock for hydrogen, renewable diesel, methanol, and LNG production.

“This decision reflects our long-term strategy to grow our core businesses while driving excellence through existing operations and platform expansions,” shared Mike Koel, President of U.S. Energy. “Renewable natural gas remains a focus for our customers and will remain a focus for our team. From additional supply deals to new dispensing opportunities, we’ll continue to diversify across all verticals of the RNG value chain.”
